Community, A Sociological Study: Being An Attempt To Set Out The Nature And Fundamental Laws Of Social Life (1920) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781164802396)

""Community, A Sociological Study"" is a book written by Robert Morrison Maciver in 1920. The book is an attempt to describe the nature and fundamental laws of social life. Maciver explores the concept of community, which he defines as a group of people who share common interests, values, and goals. He examines the various types of communities, including rural, urban, and industrial, and discusses the factors that contribute to their formation and maintenance. Maciver also delves into the role of social institutions, such as family, education, and religion, in shaping and sustaining communities. He argues that these institutions are essential for the development of social norms and values, which in turn promote social cohesion and stability. Throughout the book, Maciver draws on examples from history and contemporary society to illustrate his points. He also engages with the work of other sociologists, such as Emile Durkheim and Max Weber, to provide a comprehensive overview of the field of sociology. Overall, ""Community, A Sociological Study"" is a seminal work in the field of sociology that offers valuable insights into the nature of social life and the importance of community for human flourishing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
