One of the first major studies of sociology, this book explores the clash between small-scale neighborhood-based communities and the large-scale competitive market society. It considers all aspects of life — political, economic, legal, family, religion and culture. Discusses construction of "selfhood" and "personhood," and modes of cognition, language, and understanding.
Unabridged republication of the translated edition, published by Harper & Row, New York, 1957, of the 1887 German publication of Gemeinschaft und Gesellschaft.
