Paul Frommhold Ignatius von Lilienfeld-Toal (Russian: Павел Фёдорович Лилиенфельд-Тоаль, romanized: Pavel Fëdorovič Lilienfel'd-Toal'; French: Paul de Lilienfeld; 1829–1903) was a Baltic German statesman and social scientist of imperial Russia.[1] He was governor of the Courland Governorate from 1868 till 1885. During that time, he developed his Thoughts on the Social Science of the Future, first in Russian as Мысли о социальной науке будущего (Mysli o sotsial'noi naukie budushchego; 1872), and then in German as Gedanken über die Socialwissenschaft der Zukunft (1873–1881). Lilienfeld's thoughts, which he later articulated in compressed form in both French and Italian, laid out his organic theory of societies, also known as the social organism theory, organicist sociology, or simply organicism. He later became a senator in the Russian parliament, as well as vice-president (1896), then president (1897), of the Institut International de Sociologie (International Institute of Sociology) in Paris.
- ^ The Bibliothèque nationale de France gives Lilienfeld’s date of birth as 1828 instead of 1829; 1829 may be found in e.g. Capozzi (2004: 92), the Library of Congress, Reinert 2003: 7, Philo 19, Лилиенфельд-Тоаль, Павел Фёдорович (Russian Wikipedia article), and Paul von Lilienfeld (German Wikipedia article).
