Social system

The book of Talcott Parsons - the largest theorist of sociology of the 20th century - is devoted to the presentation of the scientist’s point of view of the key concepts of his sociological theory - the concept of the social system and ways to study it. The most distinct book is the separation of the concepts of social and cultural systems, as well as the social system and personality system. The theoretical concepts and methodological approaches of T. Parsons are not outdated and are of great value, especially for macrosocial studies.
The materials of the book are of interest not only for professional sociologists, but also for humanitarian students, since a systematic approach to studying the phenomena of public life is certainly going beyond pure sociology
