First Published in 1970. Written before the term sociology was in use, this book has two main principles. One concerns the conception of what a state is and what its relation is to the other organizations that enter into the structure or framework of all society. The second major principle is that individualization and socialization are intimately interdependent. that a developed society stimulates the development of the personality of its members. and vice-versa. This principle still seems to the writer to have high significance and to be capable of application for the interpretation of many phases of social change. A difficulty that may impede its acceptance is a failure to appreciate the significance of the word socialization.
