About This Quote

Familialism is a term that was coined by the sociologist Max Weber. Familialism is a term used to describe a social structure where people are related, but not necessarily bound by blood. Familialism is a way of thinking that embraces family as a central unit within society, and it is also tied to this idea of magic denial. When people deny the reality of blood relations as an important part of society, they are falling into the trap of familialism.
