Summary

Talcott Parsons: The Social System

And Other Experiments

The most significant undertaking at the Harvard Department of Social Relations under Parsons' administration was a project started in the fall of 1949, with the support of the Carnegie Foundation. Parsons joined the team of collaborators with social scientists from other universities (sociologist Edward Shils from Chicago, psychologist Edward Tolman from Berkeley). The goal of the project was ambitious - building the basis for a new theoretical synthesis that would encompass the entire field of social relations. Parsons entered the project already as the author of The structure of Social Action (1937), and he saw in the project an opportunity to work in the direction of general theory. For his part, he entered the implementation of the project with a large part of the completed text of the future Social System, which he will later thoroughly revise. Seminars were held regularly until January 1950. At that time, there was only the Chicago School of Sociology on the American social science scene, which was in decline, so one could rightly speak of a widespread willingness to accept a new theory that would unify mutually separated fields.
