Summary/Abstract: When attempting to examine Erdei's social views on the 'dual structure' of the Hungarian society, most previous studies on his oeuvre disregarded his early writings. This study points out the significance of his early works enlightening the changes and contradictions of his thoughts. These early works deal with the transformation of the peasantry giving not only a sociological description about its social origin but also theories for its political rise. Present study focuses on this duality of his analyses of social structure.
