Abstract
The “depth sociology” of Professor Gurvitch is considered to have been developed from the theory of les représentations collectives, which constitutes the key-stone of Durkheim's sociology. Gurvitch's work is worthy of note in that it tries to characterize social reality in pluri-dimensional, rather than in uni-dimensional term. He constructs ten levels in depth from organized superstructures down to spontaneous infrastructures. This writer accepts the Gurvitch's idea in principle, but notes that each level may further be sub-stratified from the organized to the spontaneous, and that in some instances the distinction among Gurvitch's levels is not clear.
