Abstract
The collaboration between the sociologist P.A. Sorokin (1889–1958) and the founder of “A Journal of Sociology and Social Psychology”, cultural anthropologist and sociologist R. Thurnwald (1869–1954) in 1927–1933 and in 1951–1954 is an important, but little known episode of Sorokin‘s creative biography. The published correspondence, journal reviews, and journal articles by Sorokin record changes in his sociology's methodology, reveal more fully his efforts to institutionalize general sociology, and touch on the personal and business motives behind these contacts.
