Tönnies’ prominence in the social science canon has faded in recent years; publication of this translation should rekindle interest. Tönnies’ little known exploration of public opinion was innovative and informed by themes of great concern today—cultural performance, power, and diversity. In addition, it reveals an interesting critical dimension to Tönnies’ sociology.
