Starting from the general critique of the Merton"s anomie theory articulated by himself in 1997, this paper conducts critical examinations against the strain-theoretical statement and "structure-culture discrepancy" thesis both regarded as the core statements by Merton. The strain-theoretical statement as micro theoretical is not to be viewed as derived from the Merton"s original text, and, as can be judged by Merton"s own conclusion, has been proved as unuseful. Consequently, Merton"s theory remains as micro-theory without micro theoretical foundation despite studies during the last 60 years. At the next stage, this paper directly compares the "structure-culture discrepancy thesis, that is the core statement of Merton"s anomie theory, to the goal-means discrepancy thesis in the Durkheimian term. It is concluded that the thesis by Merton is weaker in explaining anomie than that by Durkheim. Based on the summary of these analyses, the potential to develop the anomie theory further can be found in the anomie theory in the Opp"s version which is sound on the anomie concepts and theory by Durkheim.
