Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Whiterward?: Hell or Eutopia Assuredly the relevance of this volume to current issues should be fairly obvious. There are two aspects which the writer would especially desire to stress. One is the need to make diagnosis precede treatment in social ills no less than in bodily diseases. The other is that the suggested project of a Sabbatical Year for the Money-Power be calmly weighed and seriously considered. By most readers of a practical turn this notion will doubtless be dismissed as fantastic. But let such critics search their mind - and not less their heart - with two very definite questions. How otherwise than by exercise in a form of sacrifice fitting to the circumstances can be acquired that spirit of impassioned goodwill, clear thinking, and right action, which, always necessary to a sound view and a wise handling of public affairs, is surely more needed than ever in the present situation? How otherwise than by some gesture of renunciation appropriate to the occasion can the directive classes evoke from other classes a manifestation of public spirit adequate to present needs? It will be asked what foundations of verifiable science support the diagnosis of social ills here made, and the suggestion of treatment put forward. By way of general answer to that question a chapter (Every Man his own Sociologist) has been added, which endeavours to outline those main traditions of sociological science about which there is general concurrence among students of the history of sociology. But leaving this terra firma of fact and appreciation for the quicksands of interpretative reference and practical guidance in respect of current issues, partisanship can hardly be avoided. It seems best, under these circumstances, to set out with complete frankness and sufficient fulness the standpoint and the aims of ones group. The group label happens in this case to be Civic Sociology. How then describe for the purpose in hand the standpoint of Civic Sociology and define its aims and mode of working? We live at the confused juncture of an era that is passing, and one in the throes of birth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
