214 THE SOCIAL THEORY OF GEORG SIMMEL problems. The difference in social content will then over- shadow the similarity in social form, and the full meaning of Simmel’s illustrations and inductions will escape us. But once this process of differentiation has been mastered, there are no insurmountable obstacles of technique. The task of the science will then reveal itself as identical with the task of all other sciences within their special field. That task is to find the laws or, avoiding all metaphysical implications, to find phenomenological relationships with sufficiently high degrees of correlation to give a high prob- ability of repetition. The correlations of sociology are correlations between social forms and determining factors, and only by increas- ing the number of such correlations can we build a theory of the processes of socialization which will result in a sci- ence of association.
