Talcott Parsons

Talcott Parsons (13 Decembris 1902 – 8 Maii 1979) fuit sociologus Americanus qui inter professores Universitatis Harvardianae ab 1927 ad 1973 meruit. Qui theoriam actionis, rationem generalem ad societatem investigandam, excogitavit, quam in principio methodologico voluntarismi et in principio epistemologico realismi analytici condidit. Haec ratio librare conata est duas traditiones maiores: traditionem utilitario-positivisticam et traditionem hermeneutico-idealisticam, inter quas, apud Parsons, voluntarismus tertiam condicionem alternatam constitit, quae vicissim, plus quam ratio societatis, fuerit ratio evolutionis socialis interpretatioque concreta virium et inclinationum historiae mundi. Parsons opera Aemilii Durkheim et Vilfredi Pareto subtiliter enodavit et eorum contributiones per paradigma actionis voluntaristicae aestimavit.
