7. Beyond the "Iron Cage"

Author

Baum, Rainer C.

Subjects
CIVILIZATION, SOCIAL theory, PHILOSOPHY, SOCIOLOGY, SOCIAL change
Abstract

Acknowledging the discredited nature of much of contemporary modernization theory, the blame for failure is here allocated to an unwarranted preoccupation with Zweckrationalität as crucial to an understanding of modernization and modern society. Instead of abandoning the classics, as has been advocated, this paper offers a revision. Drawing on theoretical resources of the theory of action, Weber's concepts of Wert and Zweckrationalität are reformulated into four-function rationalities for general as well as social action. The latter permit the prediction of cross-societal convergence, divergence, and historical invariance in specific types of social bonds as outcomes of modernizing change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

8. The Aged and Diachronic Solidarity in Modern Society

Author

Rainer C. Baum and Martha Baum

Subjects
Male, Retirement, Aging, Industrial society, Role, Inference, Solidarity, Unit (housing), Social Desirability, Sociology, Income, Developmental and Educational Psychology, Humans, Female, Identification (biology), Limited evidence, Geriatrics and Gerontology, Social science, Positive economics, Relation (history of concept), Older people, Aged
Abstract

Theory in social gerontology has mostly taken the individual as the main unit of inference. But one may learn more about the conditions of older people through a focus on diachronic solidarity conceptualized as a societal requisite. For this suggests that industrial societies have varying needs for older people. Depending on the stability of their institutions, identification with them, and presumptions about their stability, older people may or may not be accorded an important role in the symbolization of societal continuity. Limited evidence on the relation between income stratification by age and regime stability supports this hypothesis.
