This thinker analyzed the pursuance of “transcendental ends” in an essay about the “Place of Ultimate Values” in a certain theory. A book by this thinker named a rectangle representing the title concept along axes of “derivations” and “residues” after an Italian sociologist he criticized. This thinker defined five dichotomies, such as “affectivity vs. affective neutrality,” that he termed “pattern variables.” This thinker developed a four-part hierarchy of systemic necessities including (*) integration, latency, and adaptation. A book by this thinker claims that the “evolution of scientific theory” provides the answer to its opening question of “Who now reads Spencer?” “Sanctioned deviance” forms the basis of the sick role devised by this sociologist, who also formulated the AGIL paradigm. For 10 points, name this sociologist who wrote The Structure of Social Action. ■END■
