Talcott Parsons
"The functions of the family in a highly differentiated society are not to be interpreted as functions directly on behalf of the society, but on behalf of personality."

Family

Quote_1.png
Talcott Parsons
"The hypothesis may be put forward, to be tested by the s subsequent investigation, that this development has been in large part a matter of the reciprocal interaction of new factual insights and knowledge on the one hand with changes in the theoretical system on the other."

Knowledge

Quote_1.png
Talcott Parsons
"Among those who are satisfactory in this respect it is desirable to have represented as great a diversity of intellectual tradition, social milieu and personal character as possible."

Character

Quote_1.png
Talcott Parsons

Fact

Quote_1.png
Talcott Parsons

Fact

Quote_1.png
Talcott Parsons

Knowledge

Quote_1.png
Talcott Parsons
"It is that of increasing knowledge of empirical fact, intimately combined with changing interpretations of this body of fact - hence changing general statements about it - and, not least, a changing a structure of the theoretical system."

Knowledge

Quote_1.png
Talcott Parsons
"The implications of these considerations justify the statement that all empirically verifiable knowledge even the commonsense knowledge of everyday life - involves implicitly, if not explicitly, systematic theory in this sense."
