gesellschaft  

Definition

  • Gesellschaft, which I will here translate as “society,” is one of the most ambiguous sociological notions. One talks about caste societies, class societies, open and closed societies, agrarian, socialist, capitalist, industrial, civil, and pluralist societies, static and dynamic societies, and many other types of societies.
