Tonnies argues that all social norms are evolved from a basic sense of order, which is largely derived from customs. As such, custom refers to the ideal, and the desirable, and it mediates subjective aspects of social life. Tonnies makes observations in Custom that are just as true today as when they were written over a century ago. The pivotal idea in Tonnies work is the observation that custom, like its individual counterpart habit, has three distinct aspects: a fact--an actual way of conduct; a norm--a general rule of conduct; and a will. The analysis, extended into the field of collective behaviour, helps to explain how far custom can be regarded as a manifestation of a common will. Custom is a classic contribution in the grand canon of law and society scholarship. Moreover, the volume introduces several key elements of Tonnies' work focusing on broader sociological thought, which benefits both the theoretical understanding of law as an object of social science reflection, as well as provides empirical insights into the roles of law in society.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51164877848849,"sku":"NIN9781412853651","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52653740589329,"sku":"NLS9781412853651","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1412853656.jpg?v=1751337365"},{"product_id":"gemeinschaft-und-gesellschaft-1887-book-ferdinand-tonnies-9781161177961","title":"Gemeinschaft Und Gesellschaft (1887)","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51167072026897,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51167072485649,"sku":"NIN9781161177961","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1161177965.jpg?v=1750952878"},{"product_id":"wesen-der-soziologie-book-ferdinand-tonnies-9781162279961","title":"Das Wesen Der Soziologie","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51656787198225,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51656787493137,"sku":"NIN9781162279961","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1162279966.jpg?v=1751112389"},{"product_id":"entwicklung-der-socialen-frage-book-tnnies-ferdinand-1855-1936-9781176056954","title":"Die Entwicklung Der Socialen Frage","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDie Entwicklung Der Socialen Frage\u003c\/i\u003e, written by Ferdinand Tönnies and originally published in 1913, delves into the intricate complexities of the social question, a topic of significant importance during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
