Unit-25 : Wilfredo Pareto: Intellectual Background

of economics. His book “The socialist System” is a scriptural epic in sociology. After that ‘Treatise on notes
General Sociology’ published. The English version of this published in 1935 with the name of ‘Mind
and Society’ from New York. This book is in four parts. Normally this book is known as Treatise.

Task Which variables Pareto has studied deeply in sociological analysis?

Pareto has been scathing on democracy arrangement in Treatise. There satire attracted Musolini at the
side of Pareto. It is because of this book that when Musolini came in power then he nominated Pareto
for the citizenship of Sinate of Italy. This is another thing that Pareto was not accepting that.
Remond Era and Parsons is such a Theorist. These were analyst the Pareto like a principle idea. On the
basis of these two writers Levis Kojar described Pareto in Master of Sociological Thought. These two
writers gave definition of sociology in phraseology of Pareto. Pareto believes that sociology is such a
social science, which studies the non-logical action. We understand his girls the property of others. It is
rudeness to go his girl without any present. These all activity is illogical in the phraseology of Pareto.
This is not understandable that the girl which grower in our home and sent her another home and
whenever it is possible giving some thing ever. Logic is mathematical. However, sociology studied
our behaviour being non-logical. By this sociology studied the non-logical action of human.
When study is doing non-logical activity then some scientific method must be possible. If the method
of study will not scientific then sociology will not proved like science. Pareto gives the solution of
this problem. They say that sociology studies the non-logical activities from the logical method. In
the above illustration he give logic that his girl is only his girl. When we reached in the evening of
his life then this girl will helped us. Girl will came at the time of pain. This is logic. Because of this he
says sociology saw the non-logical action at the sight of logic.
Pareto presents two psychological perceptions for the non-logical study. In the perception the first
perception is Residues and other Derivation. These two perceptions are helpful to understand the
behaviour of human. Pareto calls them study method. He said logic-experimental the package of this
study method. In this package, he said that specific driver is our sentiments. These sentiments involved
in every human. People works with the inspiration of these sentiments in the state of animate and
unrealized. When we give present to our girl then there is no logic there are only sentiments. Other
sides human have derivation. This logic is far from reality but we use this only for peace. When we
say that our girl will help in difficulty then this is a derivation. By this logic we confused and girl also
confused. Sentiments and derivative are helpful in practical logic arrangement.

Did You Know? It is possible that Remond Era and Kojar say continuously that the
perception of Pareto is not clear. Being this criticism, it is useful for logical
study to the non-logical action in society.

25.2 summary

y Pareto established the aim of sociology this social science studies the non logical activity. After
that he proposed logical practical method.
