  Sociology
Sociology suffers greatly from its failure to establish as yet a satisfactory basis of classification for social phenomena.
While modern sociology is seeking descriptive laws of human desires and is endeavouring to classify human interests and to account for social functions, it is seeking merely for changes, uniformities, and interpretations unconcerned with any relation of these to the Divine law.
Later schools in sociology have emancipated themselves from the sway of the biological analogy and have turned toward ethnological, anthropological, and psychological aspects of the great problems involved.

 Epistemological Problems, Universal Validity of Sociological Knowledge
He disregards the principle that "occupation with the philosophy of science presupposes knowledge of the sciences themselves."[95] It would be a mistake to reproach Rickert for this, especially as his own contributions to the logic of history are not to be disputed.
In the view of interventionism, whose triumph in the sphere of practical politics the adherents of the Historical School wanted to aid in achieving, every attempt to demonstrate a regularity in the sequence of social phenomena had to appear as a dangerous challenge to the dogma of the omnipotence of government interference.
However, for this school, as well as for all other proponents of historicism, the rejection of the possibility of a universally valid theory is of merely academic significance.

The "Leipzig School" (the social philosopher Hans Freyer, the anthropologist Arnold Gehlen, the philosopher Gotthard Günther), rich of talents of a first generation, was of strong theoretical influence on Schelsky.
He published books on the theory of institutions, on stratification, on sociology of family, on sociology of sexuality, on sociology of youth, on Industrial Sociology, on sociology of education, and on the sociology of the university system.
His further books, criticizing ideological sociology (very much acclaimed by now from conservative analysts) und on sociology of law (quite of influence in the Schools of Law) kept up his reputation as an outstanding thinker, but fell out of grace with younger sociologists.

 German Historical School Summary
In addition to Savigny, the historical school was probably influenced by Johann Gottfried Herder (1744–1803) and the romantic notions of folk culture, by the emphasis on tradition in the work of Edmund Burke (1729–1797), by the stress on historical continuity in the work of Gustav Hugo (1764–1844), and by the Hegelian conception of Spirit.
In reaction against natural law and under the influence of Thomas Hobbes, the tendency in England had been to regard law as the command of the state, and the task of the jurist was conceived as a concern with the analysis of positive law without regard to historical or ethical considerations.
The German Historical School of Law is an intellectual movement in the study of Law, which took place in the beginning of the 19th century in Germany.

Children from the public schools of Philadelphia and adjacent cities have been brought to the laboratory by parents or teachers; these children had made themselves conspicuous because of an inability to progress in school work as rapidly as other children, or because of moral defects which rendered them difficult to manage under ordinary discipline.
On the conclusion of this examination he was, necessarily, returned to the school from which he came, with the recommendation to the teacher of a course of treatment to develop the child's intelligence.
The school room, the juvenile court, and the streets are a larger laboratory of psychology.

 AHA Information: Hajo Holborn Presidential Address (1967)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
In Germany the so-called "Historical School" and Ranke constructed a history in which, to Ranke, "every epoch was equally close to God." This did not allow one to impose on history an a priori pattern or to see in history the foreordained course of reason.
It did not, in general, emphasize ideas as strongly as Hegel or even Ranke had done; it attempted to counterbalance the study of the individual by the examination of the group and society.
Hegel and any metaphysical philosophy of history were, on the other hand, declared to be unscientific, and Ranke's students quickly forgot the universalistic ideas of their teacher.

Moreover, his fascinating analyses, being of highest practical value, lost just because of that their actuality; and only by 2000 new sociologists started to read him again.

 Dr. Elfriede Uener -- Wilhelm Wundt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
But by doing so, he also paved the way for cultural anthropology: from his insight that it is scientifically improper to apply results of experiments in individual psychology to social and historical phenomena, he developed an ethnopsychological concept of general cultural genesis, the results of which, conversely, must be connected to psychological analysis.
It was this "Leipzig School" approach to the development of structures and to collective psychology with which Émile Durkheim and Marcel Mauss and others in France sought to come to terms in their works on myth, religion and ethics.
In its German reception-by Felix Krueger (psychology), Willy Hellpach (social psychology), or Alfred Vierkandt (sociology), for example-Wundt's macroconcept of cultural anthropology tended to fade behind a social-ontological individualism that was clearly typical of the generation of German scholars that succeeded him.

 Epistemological Problems, Sociology and History, Logical Character
The demand had long since been made that history be at last raised to the status of a genuine science by adopting the methods of the natural— i.e., the nomothetic—sciences.
Yet in one respect this accomplishment is completely inadequate: it is not based on any acquaintance with the problem of a theoretical science of social phenomena and for that reason pays no heed to it.
And finally, if it is possible today to approach the logical problems of sociology with better conceptual tools, this is primarily due to the work that Max Weber devoted to the logical problems of history.
