Further, a central theme in Parsons’ mature sociology was that societies in the later twentieth century were increasingly internally pluralistic as a result of growing religious and ethnic diversity and specialization of the division of labour. While some contemporary sociologists bemoaned the loss of integrated communities of a (putative) past, Parsons stressed the development of a complex normative order in which common memberships of social orders could be detached from ‘national’ societal community and grounded in networks integrated through universalistic individual rights – optimistically looking towards strong, open, cosmopolitan and democratic social orders (Parsons 1979).

This is also picked up in Merton’s insistence (1957: 195–206) that social actions need to be explained in terms of individual choices between socially structured alternatives. In this view the self is bounded by space and time and takes the values of the collective as an object of reflection to which they develop attitudes.
