Hans Linde (sociologist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Linde (born March 16, 1913 in Jeßnitz (Anhalt) ; † November 29, 1993 in Karlsruhe ) was a German sociologist . His main focus was on urban, regional and technical sociology. In addition, he made contributions to agricultural sociology and population science .

Life

After studying social sciences and economics in Leipzig and Konigsberg he received his doctorate in 1937 in Leipzig with Hans Freyer and Hans-Juergen Seraphim Dr. phil.

From 1936 to 1938 he worked in Leipzig as a research assistant at the Institute for Farm Management (see Wolfgang Wilmanns ). Linde was also the managing director of the university study group for spatial research at the University of Leipzig. He was involved in empirical surveys of the Reich nutritional status. (see also Reich Office for Spatial Planning ). Linde was a sub-department head in the staff office of the Reichsbauernführer.

Hans Linde made contemporary statements on rural sociology under National Socialism , which were checked in the sociological historiography of the last decades:

"The direct promotion of rural sociology by the Reich does not take place because of its necessary internal ramifications through the establishment of large institutes and scientific apparatus, but rather through the financing of specific research projects whose agents are united in the research service and in the Reich Working Group for Spatial Research ."

Between 1949 and 1956 Linde was a consultant at the Lower Saxony Office for Landing Planning and Statistics, and then from 1957 to 1959 as a department head of the social research center at the University of Münster in Dortmund. In Dortmund, Linde was one of the social scientists around Gunther Ipsen .

In 1960 Hans Linde took up a professorship for sociology and social education at the Kettwig University of Education , he qualified as a professor in 1961 for sociology in Münster and was professor for general sociology at the Technical University of Karlsruhe from 1962 to 1981 . Linde was there founder of the Institute for Sociology and co-founder of the Interfacultative Institute for Regional Science. In 1978 he retired.

Hans Linde came from the historical school of German economics and, as a sociologist, remained strongly methodical throughout his life: theory must be obtained using the “search trench method” - in this respect, Linde at the Dortmund Social Research Center took the opposite position to the legal Hegelian Johannes Chr. Papalekas (“ Das Material provoke with the theory! "). Linde's apparently paradoxical methodological position (" social circumstances ") could be characterized as ' materialistic idealism '.

In addition to his approach to substantive dominance in social structures, Linde also published on the theory of public opinion , spatial planning , school and sport sociology .

Within the Academy for Spatial Research and Regional Planning , Linde was a member of the Scientific Council (1971–1974), the specialist committee "Space and Population", the working group "Social development and regional population forecast" and the working group "Regional aspects of population development under the conditions of the decline in birth rates " . In essays, Linde dealt several times with the relationship between sociology and spatial research.

Quote

" Social circumstances in the narrower sense [...] are all those social relationships that are mediated by things and grounded in things in such a way that they would be non-existent without any practical constraint, as factual relationships in the broader sense also those in things in a different way are directly involved with their behavior-regulating factors and / or compulsions or have an indirect effect on them.
