Research Abstract |
(1) As a result of some theoretical examinations on the theories of class, we have confirmed that it is necessary to reconceptualize the class from the viewpoint of the theory of value which deals with the production and reproduction of material value. We have also confirmed that we need a total social theory which includes not only production and reproduction of material value, but als production and reproduction of spiritual value, in order to create a theory of social class.

Movements are developed by independent individuals rather than organizations. We have to go beyond the situation that social movements are serialized by political parties. Less
