- Title
ON THE THEORY OF SOCIAL DEPENDENCE.
- Authors
Charvat, Frantisek; Kucera, Jaroslav
- Abstract
It is quite clear that the category of dependence is of basic significance for science and that any sort of scientific cognizance would be impossible without using it. In the natural sciences, dependences take on the forms chiefly of different natural laws. As a rule, a method is sought as to how phenomenon a or the set of phenomena A depend on phenomenon b or on the set of phenomena B. In this regard, certain social sciences, in particular empirical sociology where the dependence between social phenomena acquires the form for instance of correlational or other statistical relations, have taken over the use of the term dependence. The problem of analyzing the category of dependence was first raised by Czeslaw Znamierowski. Znamierowski also carried out its elementary analysis. However, he did not link dependence with the information character of inter-human interaction, nor did he use it later on. The relation between the internal and external structure will start from the assumption that every activity of system fulfils some aspect of its interests.
