Ferdinand Tonnies, C.P. Loomis
-Toennies' great classic serves to bring a much needed addition to
the American shelves of sociological theory. Toennies may now be
better understood as a sociologist who sought to study and
thoroughly analyze the social nature of man and the 'things' which
result from social life.- --Sociology and Social Life. -Toennies'
typology has provided a focus for American anthropologists and
sociologists in their work on problems of social change. Perhaps of
the most general significance, however, are Toennies' basic
statements on the use of normal concepts in empirical analysis,
from which Max Weber's 'ideal-typical' method received its
impetus.- --Contemporary Psychology. -Toennies' fundamental insight
into the types of social organization and their influence on the
corresponding types of personality and culture has been generally
accepted. Durkheim's work and Redfield's folk-urban typology
reflect the influence of his thought. Community and Society is a
rich, seminal work which will repay careful study by students of
theoretical anthropology and sociology.- --The American
Anthropologist.
