Abstract
Today, the Structural-Functionalism in the sociological field is faced with the critical difficulties. On this paper, I examine the three reasons of those difficulties.
First, the methodological fallacies of the strategy of theory construction by Prof. Parsons'.
Second, the impossibility of the structural-functional theory as the complete theory in the Japanese sociology.
Third, the deceptive logic of the explanation on Structural-Functionalism.
On those reasons, I propose the possible shema of explanation on Structural-Functionalism and the abandon of the concept of “functional requistes”.
