First published in English as part of the Essays in the Theory of
Society, this volume reissues the stand-alone Homo Sociologicus for
which the author wrote a new introduction when it was originally
published in 1973. The controversial book deals with the history,
significance and limits of the category of social role and
discusses the dilemma posed by homo sociologicus. The author shows
that for society and sociology, socialization invariably means
depersonalization, the yielding up of man’s absolute
individuality and liberty to the constraint and generality of
social roles. This volume includes the essay, Sociology and Human
Nature, written as a postscript to Homo Sociologicus.
