The article presents a review essay on the book "Talcott Parsons on National Socialism," edited by Uta Gerhardt. Parsons' essays in the book are full of insights into the sociological aspects of fascist movements, the social structure of both pre-Nazi and Nazi Germany, propaganda and social control and memoranda for political and military intervention. Beyond sociologist Max Weber, a deep impact that psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud made on him can be seen in his essays. His use of psychoanalytical concepts predates the psychohistorical approach 20-30 years later and is reminiscent of sociologists Erich Fromm and Wilhelm Reich. His April 25, 1942 presidential address before the Eastern Sociological Society thoughtfully but turgidly makes theoretical connections between structural and psychological levels of society and variables of class, tradition and social access as important consequences of both. Parsons even touched on the issue of 'evil.' He was ahead of his time with regard to feminism. It was true that Parsons wrote in somewhat of a vacuum. He and the world were unaware of the full implications of evil during the Holocaust, that is, of the Final Solution. But he tried. He merits our intellectual and moral respect for that.
