Robert A. Robert Alexandr Nisbet Book order
Robert Nisbet was an influential sociologist and political thinker who explored the tension between individualism and community in modern society. He argued that modern social science and the increasing power of the nation-state had weakened traditional social bonds, leaving individuals isolated. His work highlighted the deep human need for belonging and warned of the consequences of losing communal ties. Initially a political liberal, Nisbet later moved towards a conservative philosophy, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of modern social and political systems.
