Geiger, Theodor Julius (sh)




born Nov. 9, 1891, Munich, Ger.
died June 16, 1952, at sea

German sociologist.

An early critic of the Nazis, Geiger fled to Copenhagen, where in 1938 at the University of ?rhus he became Denmark's first professor of sociology. He studied social stratification and mobility, examining Danish intellectuals and the people of ?rhus. His posthumous Democracy Without Dogma (1964) expressed his vision of a society depersonalized by ideology but redeemed by human relationships.
