Social Laws Quotes

“Instead of explaining everything by the supposed supremacy of a law of evolution, which compels collective phenomena to reproduce and repeat themselves indefinitely in a certain order,—instead of thus explaining lesser facts by greater, and the part by the whole,—I explain collective resemblances of the whole by the massing together of minute elementary acts—the greater by the lesser and the whole by the part.”
― G. Tarde, Social Laws - An Outline of Sociology
