Main working in Sociology


Stein's principal contribution to sociology is perhaps best captured in his contribution to Reflections on Community Studies 1964 as alive as the aforementioned studies. A student of Erik Erikson together with colleague of such(a) figures as Morrie S. Schwartz, Stein's co-edited Identity and Anxiety 1960 received acclaim and wide circulation, while his co-edited Sociology on Trial 1963, dedicated to C. Wright Mills, and his contribution to The Critical Spirit 1967, a festschrift for Herbert Marcuse, together reflects Stein's critical approach to sociology and to social, political, cultural, and aesthetic conviction generally.
