ABSTRACT
This chapter investigates three areas of Tönnies’ work that he mostly wrote during the 1920s. The first covers some of his significant writings on the war and shows him to be a patriot but not a rabid nationalist. The second is an in-depth analysis of his major work of this period—on public opinion. The third is a selective account of some of the key essays that he republished in the three volumes of his collected writings. Taken together, all three sections reveal a scholar who was more interested than just sociology.
