    krytyka ze strony

    Reviewing Gemeinschaft und Gesellschaft (1889), Durkheim objected that modern society is no less natural and organic than community, not a mere mechanical aggregate held together by the state. É. Durkheim, review of F. Tönnies, Gemeinschaft und Gesellschaft, Revue philosophique 27 (1889)

Dzieła

Stanowisko

Gemeinschaft und Gesellschaft (1887) contrasts two basic forms of social life. Community grows out of “essential will” (Wesenwille): the bonds of kinship, neighbourhood and friendship, in which people belong together before they choose to, as in the family, the village and the old town. Society arises from “arbitrary” or rational will (Kürwille): individuals who remain separate join only to pursue their own ends through exchange, contract and calculation, as in the market, the big city and the modern state. Tönnies drew the second type from Hobbes and from Marx’s analysis of capitalism, and saw modern European history as a movement from community to society. He meant both as “normal concepts” – idealised types, not descriptions of real groups – and he hoped for new forms of community in cooperatives and the labour movement rather than a return to the past. His terms passed into everyday German; the word Gemeinschaft was later taken up by nationalist and Nazi rhetoric, which he opposed. He also pioneered empirical social research and studied public opinion as a force in modern society.

Życie i kontekst

Ferdinand Tönnies was born in 1855 into a prosperous farming family at Oldenswort on the Eiderstedt peninsula in Schleswig. He studied philology, philosophy and history at several universities, took his doctorate in Tübingen in 1877 and qualified as a lecturer at Kiel in 1881. There he remained an unsalaried Privatdozent until 1908, partly because the Prussian authorities distrusted his sympathy for the labour movement; he became a full professor only in 1913, retired in 1916 and taught sociology again from 1921. A leading scholar of Hobbes, he co-founded the German Sociological Association in 1909 and was its president until 1933. In 1930 he joined the Social Democrats in protest against the rise of National Socialism. The Nazis dismissed him in 1933, and he died in straitened circumstances in Kiel in 1936.
