E.Goffman's argument undoubtedly owes a lot to G.Bateson. Above all, one of Goffman's main concepts 'frame' is obviously inherited from Bateson and used in accordance with his originally intended meaning. Therefore, it will be meaningful to consider Bateson in order to gain a clearer idea of Goffman's viewpoint. Bateson's introduction of the theory of "logical-types" in relation to the study of social communication, which can be considered to be the main point of his 'double-bind theory', is, of course, immediately concerned with 'frame'. And the dynamic property of Goffman's arguement in "Frame Analysis" can be considered in part a product of this Bateson's idea. This paper attempts to make a comparison between the sociology of E.Goffman and that of M.Buber from Bateson's unique point of view. In various aspects, Buber sociology is thought to be the opposite of Goffman's. It is the above mentioned insight of Bateson that can be used here to describe the contrast between these two antipodal scholars. Each of the directions they took is asserted to be correspondent to two principal 'ethoses' of Western society, that is to say, love and skepticism. By examining Buber's ethos of love and Goffman's ethos of skepticism, the significance of the angle that Goffman takes can be reconsidered.
