Contempory discussions of Parsons' theory have stumbled because they are unsuccessful in understanding his theory in terms of the synthesis of his epistemological logic, his analytical model and his substantive problems. In this paper I attempt to explore the logic of “the so-called social” in his theory, by means of an examination of the theorem of institutional integration. This theorem involves his since he is forced to do something to liquidate his unattainable desire. The technique he often uses is to do self-degradation by committing some deviant behavior again. The trigger of this self-degradation would be easily pulled when he defines other's attitude unchangeable ; lacks of his tolerance of embarrassment ; and happens to be caught-in precipitating factors-say, an insult by significant others or a temptation by deviant group.
