dc.description.abstractThe General Systems Theory is used as the paradigmatic lense through which experience of the Social Scientist of the social phenomenom Is viewed in a theoretically ordered manner. The data of the sociologist using the Systems approach appears three-dimensional; the structural and functioning as the societal articulation of culture at a hypothetical static point In time as the first two dimensions, and the historically evolving process of culture itself including all such pictures as the third and synergistically Inclusive dimension. The contrived antithetical positions of positivism and historical determinism In Sociological theorizing share a common paradigmatic lense of static equilibrium which admits to perceptual illuminations of the first two dimensions only. Emile Durkhelm, Gunnar Myrdal and Ortega y Gasset are important as conceptual contributors.
