Table of Contents
- Chapter 1 Introduction
- Part I From Biblical Legends to Contemporary Sociology
- Chapter 2 Dichotomic Conceptions of Class Structure - One Group Set Over Another
- Chapter 3 The Scheme of Gradation1The term 'gradation' (Polish gradacja) is retained in the translation, instead of using the more familiar 'ranking', because the author clearly differentiates between them. 'Rank', as used in American and English sociology, refers to the relative position or status of members of a group with respect to each other as assigned and evaluated by themselves or by the researcher. Therefore, a sequence of degrees in rank is either something subjectively perceived or intuitively assessed. But not every sequence of degrees in rank is based on a subjective evaluation. When individuals are ranked according to their education or wealth, an objectively valid criterion of rank is applied. 'Gradation' denotes both the subjectively evaluated and the objectively measured rank and differentiates them by qualifying the latter as 'simple' and the former as 'synthetic gradation' (note by Dr. Z. Jordan).
