An eloquent and enduring contribution to sociological theory is the work of distinguished Polish-American sociologist Florian Znaniecki. This volume is composed of selections from the works which Znaniecki originally published in English. In addition, Robert Bierstedt has written an introduction which includes and expository and critical treatment of these writings, and a brief biography of Znaniecki. Florian Znaniecki insisted that all action is grounded in society and that it is thus inconsistent and unwarranted to limit inquiry to a particular social structure. He never hesitated in his attacks upon the limitations of statistical methods and never ceased his insistence that only by the use of personal and even intimate sources, such as diaries, letters, and autobiographies, could the sociologist make full utilization of "the humanist coefficient" which above all distinguishes the social from the physical sciences. (from the back cover). Book is in excellent condition with no marks in text and normal wear to cover.
