The purpose of this paper, which was written for a forthcoming book on the state-of-the-art in the social sciences, is to survey the influence which natural science concepts and models have recently had on theoretical developments in the social sciences, especially sociology. Such influences can be found both in the field of formal modelling, and in macrosociological theory building. Different modes of theory transfer are assessed, and the forces stimulating it are discussed. The most fruitful effect of transfer turns out to be the stimulation of genuine social theory building by the application of highly generalized conceptual or explanatory paradigms derived from natural science theories.Dieses Papier, als Beitrag zu einem Sammelband über...
