Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Foundations of Society The historical method has been adopted in the following pages. To ascertain what inquirers have held and taught respecting the life of society enables one to trace with greater accuracy the development of social relationships; to test whatever conclusions may be reached, in the light of the results of their investigations; and to perceive more clearly how theories either tell upon society, or are the reflection of the ideas and customs of the time at which they are formulated. History is our instructor, and it is manifestly a great advantage to read its pages with care and note its lessons. The trouble entailed in tracing historical movements, or in reading the history itself, is amply repaid by the clearer light which is thrown upon social life. To offer an explanation of society in terms of one of its elements is to present an inadequate interpretation of social phenomena. This holds good even though the element selected should be that which is most distinctive and most prominent. The scientific treatment of society necessitates a careful consideration of all the essential elements of social life. For society is the expression of many contributing factors, which are intimately related, and, indeed, run the one into the other. Accordingly, in investigating the Foundations of Society, all the elements of society have been submitted to a careful examination, with the object of ascertaining what contribution each of them makes to the life of "associated humanity."
