This is part of a series of three volumes which provides a critical
assessment of the actual achievement of this university professor,
who became the first President of Czechoslovakia. They assess
Masaryk's value as a national and international politician as well
as a scholar and publicist. Individual chapters consider such
topics as his parliamentary activities, his contribution to the
feminist movement, his involvement in the Austrian equivalent to
the Dreyfus trial, his theories of Czech and particularly Russian
cultural history and his sociological studies of literature.
Professor Wesolowski presents a detailed study of Marx's theory of
class structure and compares it with non-Marxist theories of social
stratification, in particular the functionalist theory of
stratification and the theory of power elite. He is also concerned
to develop and extend the Marxist approach to the study of class
structure and social stratification in a socialist society. The
book begins with a thorough and original reconstruction of Marx's
theory of class domination in a capitalist society, and goes on to
show that contemporary non-Marxist theories of power elites
complement rather than contradict Marx's concept of class
domination. The author examines in detail the functionalist theory
of stratification, but rejects it, preferring the Marxist approach.
Finally, though, he demonstrates the complementary nature of the
two approaches to the study of class structure by expounding a
comprehensive paradigm for empirical research based on Marxist
theory but including some elements of contemporary stratification
theories as well.
