According to the sociologist Longhurst, the Sonntagskreis "rejected any 'positivist' or 'mechanist' understanding of society and was dissatisfied with the existing political arrangements in Hungary.
Prema Longhurstu, Sonntagskreis je “odbacio bilo kakvo ‘pozitivističko’ ili ‘mehaničko’ razumevanje društva” i nije bio zadovoljan političkim aranžmanima u Mađarskoj.
