By any objective criteria of contributions to macrosociology, Pitirim Aleksandrovich Sorokin ranks alongside such twentieth‐century figures as Max Weber, Émile Durkheim, and Talcott Parsons. His pioneering contributions in the comparative‐historical study of revolutions, social mobility, cultural sociology (considerably in advance of the “cultural turn” of sociology), rural‐urban sociology, and the sociology of altruism are lasting landmarks with a prime focus on the hows and whys of what he designated as sociocultural change
