My inspiration for this book, as for earlier volumes, has been drawn from that fruitful method which alone, I believe, can throw light upon sociological origins: I speak of the ethnographic method, which consists in looking upon existing inferior races as living representatives of our primitive ancestors. I a not here concerned to justify this method of treatment It is the very basis of evolutionary sociology, since it allows us to study de visu the series of social stages swallowed up in the gulf of the past By its help the most distant ages rise again in flesh and blood; by the most scientific of incantations the past becomes the present, and the observer can simultaneously criticise the successive phases through which civilised peoples have taken chronological cycles to pass.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book studies the evolution of property and its role in the development of societies from primitive to modern times. The author traces the origins of property ownership in animal instincts, exploring how the concept of appropriation developed from the need for self-preservation and evolved into more complex forms in human societies. The book delves deep into the relationship between political organization and property rights, examining how various social structures, from anarchic hordes to complex monarchies, shaped the understanding and distribution of property. Through a comparative analysis of different cultures and historical periods, the author reveals the profound influence of property on societal norms, values, and legal systems.
