Summary
This chapter analyzes how the concept of community was brought back in by theorists such as John Dewey, Mary Parker Follett, and Robert M. MacIver, in response to the problem of social order opened up by pluralists and theorists of process. The chapter considers different ways of making the complexity and diversity of modern society dovetail with the perceived need for community as a source of social order and demonstrates how the problem of social order remained unresolved through these efforts.
