Resumen: «I» After an interval of almost fifty years, a theme has reappeared in sociology Which has Determined That the origin of any other discipline more than subject area. From Comte to Marx and Simmel and Sorel, social conflict, especially revolutions, was one of the main themes in social research. The same is true of many Anglo-Saxon early sociologists (in Their work, Although the problem of revolution has-been characteristically somewhat neglected), for example, the Webs in England, Sumner in the United States. However, Talcott Parsons When in 1937 established a Certain convergence in the sociological theories of Alfred Marshall, Emile Durkheim, Vilfredo Pareto, and Max iileber, 2 no longer have in mind an ADH analysis of social conflict; His was an attempt to solve the problem of integration of so-called & dquo; & dquo social systems; by an Organon of Interrelated categories. The new question was now & dquo; What holds societies together no longer & dquo; What drives them on & dquo; The influence of the Parsonian posing of the question on the more recent sociology (and by no means only on American sociology) can hardly be overrated. THUS it is possible That the revival of the study of social conflict in the last Decades Appears to many not so much a continuation of traditional paths as a new thematic research discovery-an instance of dialectic irony in the development of science.
At this time, Approaches Toward a systematic study of social conflict are still Relatively isolated, Compared With the innumerable works on social stratification or on structure and function of specific Institutions, Organizations, and societies. Still the thesis of a revival of the study of social conflict can be justified With regard to the works of Aron, Philip, Brinton, Kerr, Coser, Brinkmann, Geiger, Gluckmann, and others, as well as an attempt to determine a systematic locus and a specific framework for a theory of conflict in sociological analysis.
