Introduction:
Ferdinand Tönnies or Ferdinand Toennies was a German
sociologist. Ferdinand Tönnies was born on July 26, 1855, on
a farm homestead in the North Frisian peninsula of Eiderstedt,
then still under Danish sovereignty. One of seven children, he
received his high school education in Husum, where he
became deeply attached to the novelist and poet Theodor
Storm. After studying classics at different German universities
and taking his doctoral degree in 1877, Tönnies turned to
philosophy, history, biology, psychology, economics, and ethnology as his ideas on scientific
sociology began to take shape. He was influenced by the works of Thomas Hobbes, Friedrich
Nietzsche, and Immanuel Kant.
In Berlin in 1876 Tönnies began at the suggestion of his lifelong friend Friedrich Paulsen a study
of the much-neglected philosophy of Thomas Hobbes. On his first of many journeys to England
and also to France, Tönnies discovered in 1878 several original manuscripts by Hobbes, essential
to better appreciation of his system of ideas and natural-law theory. In his first account (1879-
1881) Tönnies argued the significance of Hobbes in the scientific revolution of the 17th century.
Continuing his documentation, he published the standard monograph on Hobbes's life and works
in 1896.
“Tonnies’ enormous body of work is largely unknown to the English speaking world. This is as true of

social mores and crime. Indeed a recent bibliography lists more than 900 works, only a handful of
which are available in English (Max. 2000).”
After World War I, with prospects more favorable to social science and its academic recognition
in the Weimar Republic, Community and Society went through several new editions. Now in his
60s, Tönnies carried out his design of a systematic sociology. The theoretical parts on social units,
values, norms, and action patterns in the Introduction to Sociology (1931) were supplemented by
three volumes of collected studies and critiques and by a series of papers on his empirical research.
He reestablished the Sociological Association, remaining its president until 1933.
The bulk of his published work bears out a distinction Tönnies had proposed in 1908 between
pure, applied, and empirical sociology. In line with the scientific principles of both Galileo and
Hobbes, pure sociology, including the fundamental concepts of community and society, relates to
abstract constructions appertaining to human relationships; from these, more specific theories are
deducible in applied sociology, with emphasis on interaction of economic, political, and cultural
conditions in the modern age; they, in turn, serve as
guidelines in inductive empirical research. Tönnies kept
strictly separate from this threefold scientific endeavor
what he called practical sociology; this, comprising social
policies and social work, presents, in a complete system,
technologies based on the scientific insights of the three
sections of the system.
Tönnies acted on this solution also of the value problem.
He relentlessly exposed the neo-romanticism of the
1920s, just as his earlier critique of romanticism had been the cornerstone of the theory of
Community and Society. But in 1933 he was deprived as "politically unreliable" of his status as

Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft.
Tönnies remains famous for his conception of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft, which in general,
refers to two types of social groupings. Gemeinschaft—often translated as community—refers to
groupings based on a feeling of togetherness. Gesellschaft—often translated as society—on the
other hand, refers to groups that are sustained by an instrumental goal. Gemeinschaft may be
exemplified by a family or a neighborhood community; Gesellschaft by a joint-stock company or
a state or nation.

This distinction between social groupings is based on Tönnies' assumption that there are only two
basic forms of will: "Essential will" and "arbitrary will." The "essential will" (Wesenwille) or
"natural will," leads the actor to see himself as a means to serve the goals of a social grouping.
Very often this will is an underlying, subconscious, almost instinctive force that motivates people
to volunteer their time and to serve others. Groupings formed around an essential will are called
Gemeinschaft, in what Tönnies understood to be an organic type of structure.
The other type of will is the "arbitrary will" (Kürwille) or "rational will." An actor here sees the
social group as a means to further his individual goals, and so it is purposive and future-oriented,
based on conscious decision-making. Groupings around the latter are called Gesellschaft, and their
structure can be understood as based on social contracts. Let’s take a look at them one by one.
Gemeinschaft:
Gemeinschaft (often translated as "community") is an association in which individuals are
oriented to the large association as much as, if not more than, to their own self-interest. Furthermore,
individualsin Gemeinschaftare regulatedbycommonmores(ornorms),or beliefsaboutthe appropriate
behavior and responsibilityof members of the association to each other and to the associationat large.
These associations are marked by "unity of will" (Tönnies 2001, 22).
Gemeinschaften are broadly characterized by a moderate division of labor, strong personal
relationships, strong families, and relatively simple social institutions. In such societies there is
seldom a need to enforce social control externally, due to the collective sense of loyalty the
individuals feel for their society. Order exists based on natural law, resulting from the commonly

held beliefs of the members of the Gemeinschaft. Historically, Gemeinschaft societies were
racially and ethnically homogeneous.
Tönnies saw the family as the most perfect expression of Gemeinschaft. He expected, however,
that Gemeinschaft could be based on shared place and shared belief as well as kinship, and he
included globally dispersed religious communities as possible examples of Gemeinschaft.
Gesellschaft:
Gesellschaft (often translated as "society" or "civil society"), in contrast to Gemeinschaft,
describes associations in which, for the individual, the larger association never takes on more
importance than individual self-interest. Gesellschaft is maintained through individuals acting in
their own self-interest. A modern business is a good example of Gesellschaft. The workers,
managers, and owners may have very little in terms of shared orientations or beliefs, they may not
care deeply for the product they are making, but it is in everyone's self-interest to come to work to
make money, and thus, the business continues. In business usage, Gesellschaft is the German term

for "company. “Unlike Gemeinschaften, Gesellschaften emphasize secondary relationships rather
than familial or community ties, and there is generally less individual loyalty to the society. Social
cohesion in Gesellschaften typically derives from a more elaborate division of labor. Such societies
are considered more susceptible to class conflict as well as racial and ethnic conflicts. Order in
Gesellschaften is maintained by commonly held fear of reprisal from the laws accepted in the
community.
Durkheim's use of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft:
French sociologist Emile Durkheim adopted the concepts of Gemeinschaft and
Gesellschaft in his work The Division of Labor. Durkheim used the terms "mechanical" and
"organic" societies, in somewhat of a reversal of the way Tönnies conceptualized the evolution of
societies. Mechanical societies were characterized by a common consciousness of its members,
while organic societies are marked by specialization and individual consciousness.
Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft: Application to society:
Since, for Tönnies, Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft are "normal types," or examples of pure
sociology, concepts that he did not expect to be found in a pure form in actual society. Tönnies'

expectation was accurate. Even in societies famous for guaranteeing the freedoms of its citizens,
such as the United
States with its Bill of
Rights, or France
during the French
Revolution, there still
exists some level of
public consciousness.
This consciousness can be seen in public reaction to various actions, such as the outrage against
major companies whose leadership was financially irresponsible, leading to the loss not only of
jobs, but also the retirement savings of many employees. At the same time, no perfect
Gemeinschaft exists. Even in the simplest village societies in the third world there exists some
division of labor as well as political discord.
Although Tönnies' conceptualization of Gemeinschaft received much public interest during the
period of after World War I in which increasing industrialization caused societal discontent.
Gemeinschaft was unrealistically viewed as a purer, more "perfect" type of society to which a
number of intellectuals advocated a return. However, this was based on a misunderstanding of
Tönnies' work, improperly applying his concepts to the actual situation.

Thus, it is a mistake to regard
these classifications as
examples of real societies, and
to strive to make any society
purely Gemeinschaft or purely
Gesellschaft. A society that can
harmoniously combine the two
forms of association may prove
to be the most satisfying and
efficient.

CRIME FROM GEMEINSCHAFT TO GESELLSCHAFT:
Tönnies’ sociology of crime, which occupied him for a period of nearly four decades,
covers the following issues: a theoretical conceptualization of crime; methodological issues in the
study of crime, including a measure of association of Tönnies’ own invention; a series of empirical

investigations of crime in Germany; and a policy-oriented perspective on criminal law and the
prevention of crime.
First, Tönnies differentiated between types of crime on the basis of their relationship to the social
environment. Tönnies argued to be the unmediated expression of certain social conditions, such as
the inequality of economic and moral classes, unemployment, illness, widowhood, orphan hood,
or psycho-moral degeneration. Second, other crimes are conceived as a more complex and
mediated expression of social conditions. As an example of the latter case, some crimes, Tönnies
suggested, had increased with the proletarianization of the masses and the disintegration of folk-
life (Volksgemeinschaft), while vagrancy, for instance, had decreased (Tönnies 1906).
What it says:
The era Tonnies endorsed during his life was full of surprises. Like after industrial
revolution the societies were distinguished. The people from rural areas were migrating towards
cities. Due to which the increase in crime rates were also observed. The distinction between the
societies were helpful to understand this phenomena of increasing crimes. And Tönnies also
distinguished between types of crime in terms of the psychological state of the criminal and the
social conditions of crime. Tönnies defended the position that statistics is both a method and a
science. His basic understanding was that numbers in social research might give only the quantitate
meanings but statistics are helpful to understand the patterns of crime. So the use of science in

social research was in hot debate during that days. The scholars from the industrial revolution era
were wanted to work for the betterment of societies as always. Adriana use of positivism in
determining the crime patterns by analyzing the PET scans is one example. Tonnies is also one of
them.
The historical fact remains that Tönnies’ writings in general, and particularly his crime studies,
have been neglected and that criminological sociology has developed without Tönnies. But neglect
of Tönnies’ criminological sociology has led to overlook an important contribution to the study of
crime and has impaired an adequate comprehension of Tönnies’ sociological project. It doesn’t
mean to suggest that Tönnies’ work can be useful for contemporary research on crime but instead
worked towards contextualizing his work, in theoretical, methodological, empirical, and policy
respects, in terms of its relationship to other similar projects in criminological sociology in
Tönnies’ days as well as relative to the contingencies of its historical reception, or, as the case all
too clearly is, the lack thereof.
Volunteerism (Metaphysics).
Voluntarism is a school of thought that regards the will as superior to the intellect and to
emotion. This description has been applied to various points of view, from different cultural eras,
in the areas of metaphysics, psychology, sociology, and theology. The term voluntarism was
introduced by Ferdinand Tönnies into the philosophical literature and particularly used by Wilhelm
Wundt and Friedrich Paulsen. Generally it refers to the primacy of the will over intellect or

emotion, Tonnies used the concept to refer to the ways in which people freely associate with one
another, and especially to the significance of both natural will (Wesenwille) and relational
(Kurwille).
For Tonnies, these expressions of the will are evidenced in two corresponding dimensions
of social life. Gemeinschaft as mentioned earlier refers to ‘community’, which includes the natural
bonds of family and embedded cultural identities, such as those stemming from religion and
vocation. Gesellschaft refers to society, and involves relationships and commitments derived from
the pursuit of personal interests and the achievement of goals external to a person’s more
fundamental communal identity. The mandates and expectations involved in ‘community’ are
expressions of the natural will and thus regulated from within the community. The means and ends
involved ‘society’ are formulated by self-interest expressed through public opinion and regulated
through mutual legislation.
This distinction between two types of will continued to influence the social sciences in the
20th century. As socio-economic development caused communities to grow, the tension between
social engagement as an end in itself and social engagement as merely a means to ends external to
that engagement grew. Tonnies’s voluntaristic insights apply to the oft-perceived divide between
organic and artificial dimensions of society.
Review of A theory of public opinion (translated by Rowman and Littlefield,
2000).

In Tonnies' usage an opinion expressed in public is not public opinion nor are opinion polls
which reveal many publics with diverse opinions the same thing as general public opinion. The
latter is defined by its consensual nature. It may be strong or weak. A firm public opinion is more
characteristic of values and broad principles than of current events. Firm opinion has a normative
quality and exerts social pressure.
Anyone interested in the history of the field of collective behavior and social movements must
start with Tonnies and his claim that "holding and expressing opinions is an interactive process."
In the United States this field grew out of the work of Robert Park and Herbert Blumer at the
University of Chicago. Park studied in Germany at the turn of the Century and wrote his thesis
on the crowd and the public, although Tonnies does not refer to it here.
A central concern of this field is to study the processes through which individuals come together
to form a public with a common focus. Their behavior is "emergent" and to a degree fluid and
not guided in detail by the conventional culture. Through interaction individuals grapple with
how best to respond to novel or contentious situations lacking resolution, such as the disruption
following a natural disaster or lack of agreement on a society’s system of stratification.
Tonnies writing of "the dispersed audience" and "the large public" consisting of "spiritually
[rather than spatially] connected" individuals reminds us that many of the themes now associated
with cyberspace have origins in the emergence of national mass societies and earlier
technologies such as the printing press, telephone and film which link scattered individuals. He
noted the potential of the modern press system to eviscerate national borders and create a world
culture and single market. Current national states were but a transitory phenomenon in light of a
truly international Gesellschaft."

Tonnies was alert to the factors that effected audience reception of a message including the
sound of words as well as content and anticipating the concept of "reference group," he wrote of
"the opinion circles of recipients." He identified an embryonic concept of "opinion leader" and
he also noted the strong impact the "personality" of the message deliverer could have. His
analysis of propaganda stressing slogans, the sharpening of contrasts and the importance of
repetition anticipates work that was to come several decades later.
His work is an early example and implicit call for critical studies of the media. He directs
attention to the role of opinion leaders in helping to inform and thus form public attitudes. He
saw the pernicious effects unrestrained advertising and profit-seeking could have on media. He
foresaw the growth of the public relations field and alienated journalists in observing that some
paid writers follow, "…like all mercenaries, the flag whose bearer feeds him and promises
booty."
He notes that the "offer and ‘sale’ of one’s own opinion," while a form of personal freedom for
the seller, "converts the opinion directly into impersonal merchandise." He discusses some of the
means by which inauthentic opinions may be elicited (e.g., persuasion, flattery, future rewards,
threats, and orders).
He argues that the unreliability of the media of his day was not because of direct lies, but rather
(in offering what could be a job description for a contemporary spin master) because of their
tendency to, "inaccuracy, distortion, and conjecture as reality or high probability, addition or
exaggeration."

He also rallied against deception in communication in the form of hidden advertisements in
which a brand name is unobtrusively slipped into an unrelated feature story. Here
"shamelessness grows with the completeness of the disguise." With today’s visual media this has
been taken to a new level with product placement (e.g., slipping brand name consumer items into
film and television dramas) and there are continual efforts to improve various forms of
subliminal communication.
His consideration of opinions as commodities and of deception leads to the observation that
expressed opinions are not necessarily reflective of inner convictions. As with celebrities who
endorse products, the publicly expressed attitude, "becomes marketable regardless of whether
this or an opposite opinion is really harbored or adopted."
Implicit here, although not developed, is the idea that would gain important currency from later
research regarding the importance of context and the degree of independence between attitudes
and behavior. In noting that the person behaving in ways inconsistent with inner beliefs may
come to adjust beliefs to behavior, he hints at the idea of cognitive dissonance and reverses the
popularly assumed direction of the causal relationship (e.g., he suggests that behavior can
"cause" attitudes rather than the reverse).
Tonnies’s Political influence:
Tonnies influenced not only sociology, but also German political and national life. It is
only too obvious that his sympathy was for relationships of a community type, which he

regarded as a sort of natural moral code. His intention, in fact, was to prepare a moral as much as
a sociological work. Also, it has been suggested that his work is contributed to the proliferation
of German romantic and nationalist movements, including Nazism. But it must be recognized
that Tonnies is not the only sociologist to have revealed his personal inclination through his
work. Many other sociologists have had difficulty in hiding their sympathy for the ‘superiority’
of modern society over less advanced societies. Personal value judgments are always on the
threshold of sociology’s doorway to the world (Rocher. 2004).
Conception of will:
The conception of will in the thought of Tonnies is both central and difficult. In a general
sense, it refers to voluntary dimensions analyzed by Tonnies through the prism of a
Weberian ideal type. Gemeinschaft is linked to wesenville and Gesellschaft to kurville.
The Wesenville (natural will): This will drives those actions that are engaged in for their
intrinsic worth or their own sake. It is the basis for unconditional emotional bonding and a
reverence for tradition.
The Kurville (rational choice): This will refers to the human propensity toward a reasoned
selection among alternatives. Thus, the action of rational choice is willed because it is
instrumental in achieving ends.

Association:
The activities and goals that link people together in associations have been a primary
subject of sociological and anthropological research. In English, the term has been used to
translate Ferdinand Tonnies’s influential distinction between the two societies. The Gesellschaft
refers to as association and Gemeinschaft as community. A broad current of social research
adopted the Tonnies’s characterization of association as large in scale and constituted be
impersonal or contractual bonds. A variety of other definitions and theoretical tools address
group identity and interpersonal networks. The most common variable in such studies in the
degree to which the members of a group are abstracted from personal contact with one another.
A number of theories view associations as basic to stable functioning of Democracy, Pluralism,
and Civil Society, especially when these mediate between the individual and the state
(Dictionary of the Social Sciences. p- 23).
System of sociology:
Although Gemeinschaft und Gesellschaft (1887) established Tönnies’ reputation, his
system of sociology is better studied in his later works, particularly those published after 1925. At
this mature stage of his work Tönnies distinguished between a broad and a narrow concept of
sociology. The former included social biology, demography, and social psychology, while the
latter included only the study of social relationships, groups, norms, and values. Within the
narrower field, Tönnies established three methodologically distinct divisions or levels of inquiry:

(1) Theoretical or pure sociology as an integrated system of basic concepts.
(2) Applied sociology, a deductive discipline that uses the concepts of
theoretical sociology in order to understand and explain the origin and
development of society, in particular modern society.
(3) Empirical sociology or sociography, the latter term coined by Rudolf
Steinmetz (1935), which was never clearly defined by Tönnies but which
corresponds roughly to what is called sociological research in the United
States.
It was, of course, quite clear to Tönnies that these conceptual distinctions cannot be maintained
in the study of concrete social phenomena. Empirical sociological research must be oriented
toward a general theory of social interaction, and the physical existence and psychological
interaction of men must be given recognition.

Custom: An Essay on Social Codes
In Custom, Ferdinand Tönnies illustrates the
relationship of custom to various aspects of culture, such
as religion, gender, and family. Tönnies argues that all
social norms are evolved from a basic sense of order,
which is largely derived from customs. As such, custom
refers to the ideal, and the desirable, and it mediates
subjective aspects of social life. Tönnies makes
observations in Custom that are just as true today as when they were written over a century ago.

The pivotal idea in Tönnies work is the observation that custom, like its individual counterpart
habit, has three distinct aspects: a fact—an actual way of conduct; a norm—a general rule of
conduct; and a will. The analysis, extended into the field of collective behavior, helps to explain
how far custom can be regarded as a manifestation of a common will.
Custom is a classic contribution in the grand canon of law and society scholarship. Moreover, the
volume introduces several key elements of Tönnies’ work focusing on broader sociological
thought, which benefits both the theoretical understanding of law as an object of social science
reflection, as well as provides empirical insights into the roles of law in society.

The final words…
Ferdinand Tonnies was inspired from the work of Thomas Hobbes, Friedrich Nietzsche,
and Immanuel Kant. His was known for his conception of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft. This
theorization helps to understand the social structure, social relationship and social interactions. He
himself was living in a large farm house. But after industrialization, the changing social structure
influenced him to write about it. His study also influenced anthropological research. He also gave
conceptions of will and other related phenomena linked to the societies and psychology of human
beings. His work also influenced the study of criminology. Though this area is overlooked more
or less by the standard history of sociology. Tonnies most work is in German language. He
published more than 900 scholarships. But the basic convergence point among all the work he was
doing revolved around the society structure and integration among people of the society. He is also
known as the father of German sociology. We conclude all the debate by quoting a scholar’s saying
about him which explains that to understand his extensive work, one book (Gemmeschaft and
Gesellschaft, published in 1887 i.e. Community and society) is enough to get the whole idea about
his work.
”Tönnies was, in a sense, the author of just one book”
