"[W]e were substantially on the right track [in their joint work on the paradigm of integration in the early 1950s] . . . , however much we might have been mistaken in proceeding so deductively" (Center and Periphery, Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1975, p. xxxv).

Observing that Parsons' "theory of action has now reached a degree of complexity which begins to approximate that of the model of the DNA molecule," he adds: "This observation, it should be obvious, says nothing about the intellectual validity of Professor Parsons' analysis of society" (The Calling of Sociology, Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1980, p. 84).

The highly abstract nature of Parsons and Shils' analysis of social integration may be judged by these representative sentences from their discussion of "The Integration of the Social System": "The primary integration of the social system is based on an integrated system of generalized patterns of value-orientation . . . . The institutionalization of value-orientation patterns . . . constitutes, in the most general sense, the mechanism of integration for social systems. However, social integration does not require a single uniform set of value-orientations equally and universally distributed throughout the social system. Social integration may well include a whole series of subsystems of common value-orientations varying around a basic pattern. Institutionally, this brings us before the integrative problem of partial integrations . . . "(Toward a General Theory of Action, pp. 202-203).

In 1941, Shils interviewed nativists and Nazi sympathisers on Chicago's North Side (apparently unpublished). With Henry V. Dicks, in 1950, he designed and organised an inquiry into the structure of the Soviet army during the Second World War, based upon interviews with deserters and war prisoners who had remained in Germany: The Soviet Army (Santa Monica: Rand Corporation, 1951).

Though Shils used no names, his description of these sociologists' work is unmistakable. His comments on Robert Merton referred to the index of "an important book published recently", probably Sociological Ambivalence (1976), in which "the dissensual topics outnumber the consensual topics by a ratio of more than seven to one. Is there any reason to believe that dissensual events are seven times more numerous or seven times more important than consensual ones? It is not that the eminent sociologist believes that American society is as dissensual as his distribution of attention would suggest. It is rather that he is a sociologist and although rather an original one, the weight of tradition was too strong for his curiosity"

S.N. Eisenstadt has remarked that Shils "came to social science through literature". Joseph Epstein states that "he had read more literature than I, a literary man, every expect to read. I never mentioned a writer, no matter how minor, whose work he had not read and whose measure he had not taken". "My Friend Edward", The American Scholar, LXIV (Summer 1995), p. 376;

Although these remarks were directed especially at humanistic studies in modern languages and literatures, they were also in considerable measure applicable to the social sciences. "Sociology, anthropology and political science all have somewhat more intellectual discipline than do the present-day practice of the humanities, but they have not been resistant to the infectious spreading from the humanities and from the radical epidemic of two decades ago" (Minerva, ibid., p. 455).

Social Inquiry and the Autonomy of the Individual
-
Lerner, Daniel (ed.), New York: Meridian Books
-
See Shils, Edward, "Social Inquiry and the Autonomy of the Individual", in Lerner, Daniel (ed.), The Human Meaning of the Social Sciences (New York: Meridian Books, 1959), pp. 114-157. The institutional committees which examine proposed medical and social research procedures to safeguard the rights and health of human subjects were instituted after an order in 1966 of the United States Surgeon General requiring that they be established to review Public Health Service research and training grants. The American Sociological Association adopted its first code of ethics in September 1971. At that time, the American Psychological Association was the only one of the five major social science associations (in sociology, psychology, economics, political science, and anthropology) to have both adopted a code and taken meaningful steps to enforce it.
