    When we want to grasp Marx's theory of society, it is absolutely necessary to confirm both the process of elabolating viewpoint and the level of his idea.
    Having changed his position into Realismus, he acquired his methodological viewpoint of “true criticism”, by which he meant the comprehension of “the specific logic of the specific object” as a whole, his consistent problem to criticize Materialismus of the civil society, which was based on his ideal of human emancipation, enabled him to acquire the critical method.
    Marx distinctly advanced his criticism of the civil society as the completion of Materialismus and the private property in Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844, Comments on James Mill. In both works he comprehends the subject essence of object and “transforms” the question itself into man, thus he deepens his idea of man.
    Marx understands man as a unity of two relations, man-nature relation and man-man relation. Such “man as a social i.e., human” is not a static substance but an existence in the process of socialization. The socialization of man and the socialization of nature i.e., creating a world of objects is obverse and reverse.
    Being comprehended subjectively, emergence of positive side of alienation through the negative one is the process of producing the subject as a social i.e., human. So the civil society is grasped as a contradictory structure that creates both the subjective and objective conditions to sublute the alienation. Here we can find a new standpoint to complete the “true criticism.”

    This article presents a case for the usefulness of the concept of autonomous socialization when analyzing personality formation. The author re-examines recent theries of socialization and finds that most have an “over-socialized conception” of socialization. Sociologists, especially, place an overwhelming emphasis on socio-cultural variables as the principle determinants of socialization.
    It is fruitful to make a distinction between “sociality” which is conditional over the normal socialization process by the functional requisites of the social system and “self-socializing competence” which is acquired through social interaction and spontaneous actions.
    So called subjecthood (shutaisei in Japanese) is a product of the latter process sociability which is the ability to act spontaneously and carry on interaction with other people, is the basic interpersonal competence required for autonomous socialization. Autonomous and individualized orientations are depend upon adequate competence in sociability.
    Many other concepts such as self-presentation, altercasting and projective role-taking that have been develeped by symbolic interactionists and phenomenological sociologists also need to be included in the conceptual schemes used to consider self-other interacting process and intra-self systems. In short this article argues that the sociology of personality formation should achieve a reconciliation with the voluntaristic theory of action.

    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.

  • -A Comparative Analysis of Business Leaders in the Big Three Business Groups of Japan-

    The problem investigated in this study was how hureaucratization of business organizations affects the sources of recruitment of business leaders. Underlying this research problem was a view that business groups such as Mitsui, Mitsubishi, and Sumitomo are different from each other in their organizational characteristics : Mitsui characterized by “Leader-oriented”, Mitsubishi by “organization-oriented”, and Sumitomo by “solidarity-oriented”. If that is the case, the differences would appear in the sources of recruitment of leaders in each business group.
    Our assumption, however, was that as organizations are maturing on the basis of bureaucratization, they put a stress more on achievement and less on ascription of the members of organizations. Furthermore, it was assumed that business organizations, among other types of organization, would have more characteristics toward bureaucratization. Consequently, the probable differences were not derived from our theoretical backgrounds in the sources of recruitment of leaders in the big three business groups.
    The subjects in this study were such top echelon executives as vice-presidents, senior directors, and junior directors in the three business groups. They were the leaders at six points in time ; 1922, 1929, 1937, 1945 (before Zaibatsu dissolution), 1955, and 1966. As recruitment sources, their fathers' and fathers-in-law's social statuses, their birth-places, education, and occupational career were investigated.
    The results show that there are no statistically significant differences in the sources of recruitment of the leaders in the three business groups.

  • -Soziologieschulen und Positivismusstreit-

    Die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Soziologie nahm zwar im April 1946 ihre Tätigkeit wiederauf, und die ersten Lehrstühle und Forschungsinstitute für Soziologie wurden zwar 1946/47 wieder eingerichtet, aber es dauerte mehr als ein weiteres Jahrzehnt, bis man wagen konnte zu sagen, diese Wissenschaft habe ihr Vakuum in der Zeit Nazis überwunden.
    1) Am Ende der vierziger und zu Beginn der fünfziger Jahre unternahmen die zwei Versuche zum Wiederaufbau der Soziologie, die Traditionen der alteren Soziologie wiederzubeleben, an die 1933 abgebrochene Geschichte der deutschen Soziologie wieder anzuknüpfen und das überkommene methodologische Erbe deutscher Soziologen wie Max Weber, Ferdinand Tönnis, Karl Manheim und Georg Simmel anzutreten, die erfahrungswissenschaftlich orientierte Soziologie in den USA einzuführen und das Forschungspotential der amerikanischen Soziologie in die mehr philosophisch-theoretische Tradition der älteren deutschen Soziologie hineinzuarbeiten.
    2) Die drei Nachkriegsschule der Soziologie in der Bundesrepublik-die Frankfurter, Kölner, Schelskys Schule-haben eine große führende Rolle zu dem Wiederaufbau der deutsche Soziologie in der Vielschlichtigkeit ihrer Motivationen und Auswirkungen gespielt.
    Die erste Generation jüngerer Soziologen, die aus dem durch diese drei Schulen gebildeten Kräftfeld herauswuchs, ließ freilich deutlich die Neigung erkennen, sich aus den Fesseln dieser Schulenbildung zu befreien. Am Beginn der siebziger Jahre habe die Prägekräfte dieser drei Schulen erheblich nachgelassen.
    3) Der sogenannte Positivismusstreit zweischen dem Dialektiker Adorno und dem rationalitstischen Wissenschaftler Karl R. Popper auf einer Arbeitstagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Soziologie (in Tübingen im Oktober 1961) angefangen. Der Streit wurde zwischen Jürgen Herbermas und Hans Arbert, die Adorno und Popper unterstützen, weitergeführt. Er hat die Forschungstendenz in der sechziger Jahre in Deutschland beherrscht.
    4) Dierer Streit wirkte auf die soziologischen Forschungen. Die neuen Versuche sind im Umkreis und außerhalb der Reichweite dieses Streites vorgelegt worden. Wir weisen auf den Luhmans Versuch, die neuere Diskussion um den symbolischen Interaktionalismus, die Arbeiten von Heinrich Popitz und das marxistichen Denken in der Soziologie hin.
    Solche Forschungen befinden sich am Amfang eines vielversprechenden Aufbruches, und die Professionalisierung der Soziologie in Deutschland wird aus diesen Forschungen gestärkt hervorgehen und zu neuen Schritten ansetzen.
