Journal Article
What social theory can learn from Hans Gerth and C. Wright Mills's italic character and social structure: the psychology of social institutions
2015
Overview
I emphasize the usefulness of American sociology that follows the pragmatic structural-functionalism of the 1930's, heavily influenced by the Chicago School of Sociology, by doing a major critique of Hans Gerth and C. Wright Mills, Italic Character and Social Structure: The Psychology of Social Institutions, emphasizing its holistic and pragmatic qualities, as well as its relation to the work of Max Weber. I then follow up with a critique of French and German social theory, based to a large extent on Louis Dumont, Italic Essays on Individualism: Modern Ideology in Anthropological Perspective . I suggest the usefulness of supplementing what I consider to be their unpragmatic tendencies, particularly with their approaches to the relation between social structure and self-fulfillment, and here I consider the work of Jxurgen Habermas to be only a partial corrective.
