1. Some later advocates of the theory of industrial society have, however, accepted that class divisions are structural com-ponents of the industrial order — as, for instance, in Lipset’s account of the ‘democratic class struggle’. See Seymour Martin Lipset, Political Man (London: Heinemann, 1969).

One should also, of course, note the extensive discussions stimulated by Benjamin Whorf’s Language, Thought and Reality (Cambridge, Mass.: M.I.T. Press, 1956). Whorf comments: ‘Whether a civilisation such as ours would be possible with a widely different linguistic handling of time is a large question — in our civilisation, our linguistic patterns and the fitting of our behaviour to the temporal order are what they are, and they are in accord’ (p. 154).
