The Harvard sociologist Talcott Parsons is one of the prime intellectual actors of World War II producing applied studies of Nazi Germany and providing training to members of the military government entering the occupied areas in Germany. Chapter 6 revisits his collaboration with Carl J. Friedrich, especially on a pamphlet on Nazi Poison, his momentous meeting with social philosopher Alfred Schutz and political theorist Eric Voegelin. I argue that the insights that he gained into the supposed “anomie,” that is, the chaotic nature of Nazi Germany starting in 1938 and throughout World War II, significantly shaped – by means of inversion and contrast – his positive design of a functioning social system in his post-war study The Social System, at first for the United States, but then also globally, as a scheme for the organization of modern society as such.
