Synopsis

Humanitism: The Scientific Solution Of The Social Problem is a book written by William Allan Macdonald and published in 1890. The book presents a new approach to solving social problems based on scientific principles. Macdonald argues that traditional approaches to social problems, such as charity and religion, are ineffective and that a scientific approach is necessary. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the social problem and the need for a scientific solution. The second part presents the principles of humanitism, which is the new approach that Macdonald proposes. These principles include the importance of education, the need for a just economic system, and the role of government in promoting social welfare. The third part of the book discusses the practical application of humanitism. Macdonald provides examples of how humanitism can be applied to specific social problems, such as poverty and crime. He also discusses the role of individuals and organizations in promoting humanitism and creating a better society. Overall, Humanitism: The Scientific Solution Of The Social Problem is a pioneering work in the field of social science. It presents a new approach to solving social problems that is based on scientific principles and emphasizes the importance of education, economic justice, and government intervention. The book remains relevant today and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in social reform and improving society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In presenting this work to the public, no apology, I think, is necessary, for my conclusions do not interfere with the writings of other authorities on social questions. The material has been gathered from the ablest scientific authorities, but its method of application to the solution of the social problem is quite original. The constantly diverging trains of modem thought necessitate some new and enlarged method of restoring unity and harmony; and I am baffled in all my efforts to find how this end can be attained through the theories of any one or more of the existing schools. In an inquiry which claims to be scientific, every sphere of human activity must be equitably adjusted, and the comprehensive nature of the undertaking may thus be easily realised. Had I framed together the mass of material which I have collected, the dimensions of this volume would have been multiplied at least threefold, which would have placed it beyond the reach of many whom it is intended specially to benefit. Accordingly I have written the work in language as popular as can be made consistent with an inquiry of this kind, and have sacrificed much for the sake of brevity.
