JOURNAL FREE ACCESSToday, 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”.View full abstractDownload PDF (1652K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSParsons' Theory in his latter half indicates his works about after 1960. They consist mainly of 1. structural-functional analysis and its revised theory, as it were, structural-processual analysis, 2. neo-evolutionism theory, which includes the theory of evolutional universals, evolutional change (differenciation, adaptive-upgrading, inclusion, value-generalization), 3. pattern variables revisited, four functional paradigm which is reconstructed by new framework ; external-internal, instrumental-consummatory, 4. a paradigm of the human condition (Physico-chemical system ; A, human organic system ; G, action system ; I, telic system ; L). Parsons convicted that the four functional paradigm has universal applicability everytime and everywhere. This is a kind of Weltanschauung outside of scientific world. We can find there his theory's limitation. But we believe that value of his achievement in theoretical sociology never diminish.View full abstractDownload PDF (3509K) -
-On N. Luhman's attenpt-Tsutomu Sato1984 Volume 35 Issue 1 Pages 40-48,125
Published: June 30, 1984

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAccording to my opinion, the construction of the social theory needs to synthe-size the theory of action and the theory of social system.
This view agrees with Parsons' conception. But the theory of Parsons fails to explain fully the interrelations of action and “Handlungszusammenhang” i.e. social order.
This task is, however, the problem assigned to Parsons but also to the modern sociology as a whole. For the basic feature of the social theory lies in the attempt to set both “Subjektiv gemeinter Sinn” and the social structure into the view.
N. Luhmann suggests that in order to explain actions, the theory of social system in general should be integrated with the conception of action, which pays attention to actors' “Subjektiv gemeinter Sinn”, and that at the same time the theory of action needs to be based on the theory of social system. Anyway, Luhmann thinks of “Konstitutionszusammenhang von Handlung and System” with the help of concepts of “Selbstreferenz” of the social system and “Basale Selbst-referenz” of actions.
From this perspective, Luhmann thinks that the basic conception of the theory of social system makes a new approach to “actions” possible.
In this thesis, an attempt is made to discuss the central point of Luhmann's theory.View full abstractDownload PDF (1408K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSymbolic interactionism deals with social interactions mediated by symbols. It tries to clarify human subjectivity produced by “interpretative” process. Here is a main characteristic of this theory.
This paper considers developments of symbolic interactionism in macro-level of society. Symbolic interactionism has been thought of as a micro-scopic approach. But G.H. Mead, H. Blumer and many other symbolic interactionists have treated of macro-level problems.
Symbolic interactionism is possible to clear up human subjectivity in macro-level. A concept of “generalized other” is useful to do it. And the image of society in symbolic interactionism is not a fixed, static “social structure”, but a fluid, dynamic “social process”.
With the idea of “society as process”, macro-level society can be regarded as negotiations among actors, and as ongoing process including social changes.View full abstractDownload PDF (1478K) -
-Theoretical perspectives for method analysis on the problem of subjectivity-Yutaka Kitazawa1984 Volume 35 Issue 1 Pages 58-76,124
Published: June 30, 1984
Released on J-STAGE: November 11, 2009
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe sociological propositions about the context, so indespensable properties of interaction, and the problem of subjectivity which originated in M. Weber's subjective meaning of action provide common starting points not for the theme of phenomenological sociology and ethnomethodology alone, but also for the theories of T. Parsons.
Parsons' concern with the problem of subjectivity derives from considerations of subjective categories relating to Kantian reason. These categories are analytical elements as transcendental normative condition to articulate the structure of social action. Moreover, they are incorrigibly appropriate to all actions against Parsons' claim to the “double contingency”. The structural analysis to use the analytical elements could be called the correspondence theory in that there must be a correspondence between the factual reality and the analytical reality. This analytical reality, however, can be constructed only by theorizing or by analyzing based on the sociologists' view points. Though it is worth consideration to protect the scientific objectivity, the problem of subjectivity seems unable to be solved by a tendency to lay it down as a infallible criterion that “les manières de penser auxquelles it est la plus fait sont plutot contraires que favorables a l'étude scientifique des phenomenes sociaux”.
On the contrary, ethnomethodology defines social action in terms of the contingent “accomplishment” that, holding a conceptual difference from the analytical elements, consists of members' reflexive using ethnographies or socio-cultural norms. It is each concerted accomplishment or formulating on the particular contexts that organizes the accountably rational structure of the empirical reality which is determinable independently of the analytical reality. Ethnomethodology thus investigates member's methods and practical reasonings for making a correspondence of the empirical reality with the factual reality.
This paper will suggest that the method analysis denotes a right way for solving the problem of subjectivity.View full abstractDownload PDF (3096K) -
-From the point of the relation between war and suicide-Tsutomu Yamamoto1984 Volume 35 Issue 1 Pages 77-88,123
Published: June 30, 1984
Released on J-STAGE: November 11, 2009
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSo long as we approve of a study from the point of middle range theory, a study of sociological theory must involve three parts of the 1st Concept Analysis, the 2nd Theory Analysis and the 3rd Proposition Analysis.
Now, though we can't elaborate these three parts clearly enough, tentatively we will give the following directions for them. That is to say, so provisionally.
Concept Analysis
=Analysis of the Concept itself which constructs theories and and/or propositions.
Theory Analysis
=Analysis of the limit and/or the effective range with the theory itself :
Proposition Analysis
=Analysis of the proposition itself which constructs theory and/or is infered from theory.
Now then, in the present prevailing study of sociological theory, I think that we have a great lack of Proposition Analysis.
So, in this paper, I concentrate my attention on Durkheim's egoistic suicide proposition and attempt make a Proposition Analysis about it from the point of the relationships between suicide and war in Japan during the period 1929-1939.
And the outcome of Proposition Analysis on egoistic suicide proposition is as following.
1. Suicide rate decreases in the war time.
2. Unemployment rate decreases in the war time.
3. Because of that (findings 2), suicide rate decreases in the war time.
4. But decrease of suicide rate in the war time significantly has been caused by social integration which Durkheim's egoistic suicide proposition insisted on.View full abstractDownload PDF (1381K) -
