The Ways and Power of Love: Types, Factors, and Techniques of Moral Transformation - Couverture souple
Synopsis
The Ways and Power of Love was originally published in 1954 when Pitirim Sorokin was in the twilight of his career and leading the Harvard Research Center in Creative Altruism. His elaborate scientific analysis of love with regard to its higher and lower forms, its causes and effects, its human and cosmic significance, and its core features constitutes the first study on this topic in world literature to date.
Sorokin was the one absolutely essential twentieth-century pioneer in the study of love at the interface of science and religion. Bringing The Ways and Power of Love back into print allows a new generation of readers to appreciate Sorokin's genius and to move forward with his endeavor at a time when civilization itself continues to be threatened by a marked inability to live up to the ideal of love for all humankind. It is certainly right to hope, with Sorokin, that progress in knowledge about love can move humanity forward to a better future. Turning the sciences toward the study of love is no easy task, but it can and must be done.

À propos de l'auteur
Pitirim A. Sorokin (1889-1968) was a controversial figure in twentieth-century sociology, and a pioneer in the scientific study of unlimited love. He served as the founding chairman of the sociology department of Harvard University. He was interested in discovering more about how love for others is related to felt participation in a Presence that is higher than our own and that serves as a source of unlimited love across all divisions of religious, political, and ethnic loyalties.

Paper Back. Etat : New. What could it mean to head a research center that devotes elaborate scientific analysis to creative altruism-essentially, the real power of love? To the jaded, modern mind, such an endeavor might seem implausible, border on the ridiculous. But taken in the context of tangible pain, brutality and human cruelty, it might be the only approach that makes sense. Born in 1889, Pitirim Sorokin was imprisoned, in turn, by the Czarists and Bolsheviks, which led him to three certainties: Life, even the hardest life, is the most beautiful, wonderful, and miraculous treasure in the world. Fulfillment of duty is another marvelous thing making life happy.and cruelty, hatred, violence, and injustice never can and never will be able to create a mental, moral, or material millennium. The only way toward it is the royal road of all-giving creative love, not only preached but consistently practiced. Sorokin eventually became a towering, if controversial, figure in twentieth-century sociology, founding the Department of Sociology at Harvard University and later establishing the Harvard Research Center for Creative Altruism. The Ways and Power of Love, conceived from years of research and analysis, is unlike any volume on the topic in world literature. Chapters and pages are devoted to precise and thorough definitions of love, its production and accumulation in terms of measurable energy, which Sorokin views not as a mere figure of speech, 'but a formula that describes actual social process.' More chapters discuss the mental structures and energies of man, the ways of altruistic growth (including eremitic, monastic, and 'worldly life' solutions), and the need of greater self-control, both moderate and extreme. But Sorokin's most compelling chapters focus on practice-techniques toward making these changes possible: group and psychotherapies, private and public confession, silence, Yogas, monastic practices, and the benefit of contemporary brotherhoods. Whether or not one agrees with Sorokin's conclusions or his optimistic belief in the human capacity for change, our essential dilemma is certain: 'either to continue [our] predatory policies of individual and tribal selfishness that lead.to inevitable doom, or to embark upon the policies of universal solidarity that brings humanity to the aspired for heaven on the earth.'.
