| Research Abstract |
This research attempted to analyse the formation process of Sorokin’s cultural sociology in relation to the Komi culture in Russia, Russian Revolution, his ambiguous relations with Parsons and Merton in Harvard, and his unique position in the American Sociological world from sociology of knowledge perspective. And it examined his theoretical significance by comparing Sorokin’s idea with cultural sociological ideas of Parsons and Durkheim. As a result it was pointed out that Sorokin presented a “Cultural Sociology” emphasizing “cultural autonomy” and “immanent cultural change,” and gave it a prophetic sociology aspect.
