description	Today, structural-functionalism in sociology is faced with critical difficulties. Examined here are three reasons for these difficulties: methodological fallacies in the strategy of theory construction by Talcott Parsons; the impossibility of structural-functional theory being a complete theory for Japanese sociology; & the deceptive logic of explanations offered by structural-functionalism. A possible schema of explanation by structural-functionalism is proposed, recommending the abandonment of the concept of functional requisites. 1 Figure. Modified HA.
