Abstract
On the analytical process in sociological functionalism, the relation of causal analysis and teleological analysis have been discussed so many up until this time. Then this treatise tries to argue with possiblity for effective strategy by means of causal redistribution of eleven paradigms of functional analysis in R.K. Merton.
In this time on the point of relation with teleological analysis, I try to make the conception of the cognition of C.G. Hempel and D. Emmet clear, and then next I wish to reconstruct in sociological functionalism, still more while making grasp the meaning of the cognitional methodology of M. Weber and K. Mannheim in the sociology, I think I should use the conception of “functional autonomy” in A. Goulder and then by account of clearing in the scope of spacial causality from subract in the reciprocity of causes through the opinions on N. Lumann, I'm sure eleven paradigms on Merton are more cleared.
But on the theory of Lumann the process of causality with passage of the time is not clear and then it will need construction of the conception including teleological evaluation as the next steps at the causal analysis for the relation of the whole and the part in the social system in conformity with the social structure. In this case teleological evaluation as asserted by R. MacIver as “dynamic assesment” becomes issue through groups and individuals in the social system and the cause-effect connection on the social action should take into considerration such the compatibility as an object and a mean. Therfore the teleological analysis must to leave at outside of framework on the causal analysis.
