The main work of the outstanding Russian-American sociologist P.A. Sorokin (1889–1968) was published in the USA in four volumes from 1937 to 1941 and acquired fame as a classical work in the field of sociology and cultural studies in subsequent...
years. The main thrust of the writing is the rejection of universal natural-historical patterns that operate, like the laws of nature, with "iron necessity." Based on the analysis of vast statistical material, Sorokin proved that throughout human history there is an alternating succession of three "supersystems": sensory, ideational, and idealistic. The future is not predetermined, and what it will be, believes Sorokin, depends on each of us. The book has been translated into almost all European languages and a number of Asian languages. In 1957, Sorokin prepared a shortened and adapted edition of "Social and Cultural Dynamics," from which this translation is made. The translation is accompanied by extensive comments and an annotated index of names. The book is addressed to students and graduate students of sociology faculties and anyone interested in the issues of sociology, social philosophy, cultural studies, and history.
