Opis

In the mid-eighties a first endeavour was initiated to institutionalise Tönnies studies. The Ferdinand Tönnies Society in Kiel and the later Ferdinand Tönnies Research Unit at the University of Hamburg Institute for Sociology undertook to process and promote the works of the Nestor of German sociology.

On the basis of the preparatory work done, a complete edition of Tönnies' works (TG) was planned in 24 volumes. This critical complete edition will include the published authentic and authorised German and foreign-language texts as well as hitherto unpublished material in so far as it is in independent literary form.

The first 22 volumes of the TG present the published works, the 23rd volume contains the un-published material, and the final volume provides the general indexes and lists. Besides the edited texts, the volumes contain list(s) of contents, a list of abbreviations and grammalogues, a critical apparatus, name and subject indexes, and a bibliography. The editor's preface gives brief information on sources, the condition of material, the degree of authorisation, and author corrections.

Recenzje

"In the "Vorwort" to the eighth edition, Tönnies reflected on the fact that the book was almost 50 years old and he wondered whether it might still have "something to say to the world" (p. 115). In the 85 years since Tönnies wrote that, the book continues to have something to say. And, this fine edition of Gemeinschaft und Gesellschaft ensures it will continue to say something for the foreseeable future. We have had to wait a long time for this edition of one of the classics in sociology, but it has certainly been worth the wait."

"Bettina Clausen und Dieter Haselbach ist (...) ein Kunststück gelungen, das manche >Insider< der Tönnies-Forschung für nicht möglich gehalten haben: nämlich Gemeinschaft und Gesellschaft in einer höchst anspruchsvollen >(historisch-) kritischen< und doch sehr gut lesbaren Form zu edieren, welche für die zukünftige wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit diesem Werk von unschätzbarer Bedeutung ist."
