  Forward to Ferdinand Tonnies: A Theory of Public Opinion
Ferdinand Tonnies is the kind of guy I would love to have met and learned from, whether in a European salon or an American saloon.
Tonnies writing of "the dispersed audience" and "the large public" consisting of "spiritually [rather than spatially] connected" individuals reminds us that many of the themes now associated with cyberspace have origins in the emergence of national mass societies and earlier technologies such as the printing press, telephone and film which link scattered individuals.
Tonnies’ strong belief in the possibility of objectivity (related to his faith in science and his belief in the unity of scientific and humanistic approaches), will not be shared to the same degree by those attuned to the ways in which our views of reality are socially constructed.

 community   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Ferdinand Tonnies described the evolution of Western civilization as a movement from Gemeinschaft (German for "communal) to Gesellschaft (associative) modes of being.
In essence, Tonnies claims that as humanity moved from a preindustrial to an industrial state, communal ways of life transformed into societal, or associative ways of life; we went from small, homogeneous communities to mass, heterogeneous societies.
The French sociologist, Emile Durkheim, elaborated on Tonnies theme and focused on the division of labor of society as it evolves from Gemeinschaft to Gesellschaft.
