Sorokin's Data Versus his Conclusions ( review of Social and Cultural Dynamics)
Sorokin forecasts a crisis of the Sensate culture that has dominated the Western World during the last five centuries gleaned from the statistical data collected. "A transitory period looms before us and coming generations, perhaps with their nightmares, frightening shadows, and heart- rendering horrors. Beyond it, however, the dawn of a new great Ideational culture is probably waiting to greet the men of the future" . Some of Sorokin's deductions are examined more closely in the following review. Reprinted from American Sociological Review vol. IV, no. 5, October, 1939
