An Exact Theory of Social Groups and Relations

Karl Menger

A chapter in Selecta Mathematica, 2003, pp 501-509 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract We consider a group of men1 which we shall denote by G and to which we shall refer as the “total group” of the case under consideration. G may be divided into two subgroups which have no members in common. Each member of the total group G belongs to one and only one of these subgroups, which we shall denote by G 1 and G 2 and call the two “fundamental groups” of the considered case. For instance, these very general assumptions are satisfied if the total group consists of the inhabitants of a country,G 1 of the men, G 2 of the women; or if G consists of the inhabitants of a country, G 1 of the white ones, G 2of the colored ones; or if G consists of the passengers of a train, G 1 of the smokers,G 2 of the nonsmokers.
