Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Population and the Social System My Dear Friend, - Do you remember Hobbes´ immortal aphorism? When reason is against a man, then man is an enemy of reason. To become convinced of the profound truth contained in this saying of Hobbes, it would be sufficient to examine the historical causes of economic theories, to make up, as you have once said, the economic theory of economic writers. If our science has made and still makes so little progress, it is because it is concerned with vital and real interests; to accept one of two directions is not for us, as for the followers of other sciences, merely a question of method, but it means, moreover, that different and opposite conclusions are reached, and that fixed forms of social organisation are justified or condemned. Had the propositions of Euclid affected economic interests, they would not now rank among the definite conquests of science, but would still appear doubtful hypothesis of arduous solution. Metaphysics, driven out of all the other sciences, have taken refuge in ours, and I daily ask myself what can be the purpose of so many and such useless and vain researches, grounded upon pure hypotheses. They are very few among the studious who follow a masterly road; just as there are but very few who do not sacrifice objective research to class interests. We have a philosophy of wealth and a philosophy of poverty; what we really lack is a broad and impartial philosophy. On the one side there are those who can see nothing but the miseries of the present hour, and there are those who would wish to change everything. Goethe had for a motto - to see all the sides of things. On the contrary, what is now wanted is just this exalted and serene vision, this calm, objective character in research and examination.
