Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sins and Safeguards of Society The sermons collected in this volume are concerned with certain phases of public morals and public education. The first two arc virtually anti-slavery discourses, and their titles, being in general descriptive of the aim and scope, give title to the volume. An address on "The Public Education of the People" is included; also a review of the reports of the committees of the Public Schools of Boston, and of the State Board of Education. As regards the sermons, there is little modern sociological phrasing, and they are more or less discursive in matter and manner, the one great iniquity that weighed most on Parker´s soul haunting almost every theme, diverting his attention and compelling from him some side-thrust of rebuke. Sermons they arc,- not treatises of the sociological specialist, - and must be judged as such. He had ranged, however, over the wide fields of social science with patient study and knew whereof he preached. His ideas of the means and instrumentalities of social reform and progress had not crystallized into creedal form; it is doubtful if they would have ever done so. What most concerns him is the basic principles of a sound and healthy social structure. Its architectural features must conform to the endlessly developing needs and conditions of society. He speaks, therefore, for his own time. But in the rough, with his practical sense and philosophy of life, he comes to conclusions in advance of public opinion - conclusions that are being accepted, and worked upon with more and more satisfactory results.
