A propos de cet article

82 Pp. First Edition. Light Usage, Some Browning To Spine, With 1/4" Chip At Top Of Spine. Inscribed By Ginsberg On The First Free Endpaper To Social Scientist Talcott Parsons. Morris Ginsberg Fba (1889 – 1970) Was A British Sociologist, Who Played A Key Role In The Development Of The Discipline. He Served As Editor Of The Sociological Review In The 1930S And Later Became The Founding Chairman Of The British Sociological Association In 1951 And Its First President (1955–1957). He Was President Of The Aristotelian Society From 1942 To 1943, And Helped Draft The Unesco 1950 Statement Titled The Race Question. In 1921 He Was Reappointed Assistant At The London School Of Economics, And Full Lecturer In 1923. A Year Later He Was Appointed To The Readership In Sociology, Being Supported By Recommendations From Bronisław Malinowski And C.G. Seligman As Well As Dawes Hicks From University College London. He Published The Psychology Of Society In 1921 And By 1964 It Had Reached Its Ninth Edition And Had Been Translated Into Many Languages Ranging From Spanish To Japanese. In 1930 He Succeeded Hobhouse To The Martin White Professorship Of Sociology At The London School Of Economics. His Sociology, Written In 1934, Was Described By The Guardian In Their Obituary As "Probably The Best Introduction To The Subject Ever Written".

He Believed That There Was An Urgent Need To Undertake Fuller Investigation Of The Relations Between Questions Of Fact And Questions Of Value – Particularly In The Face Of Relativistic Views That Maintain That Social Conflicts Have Their Origin In Fundamental Differences Of Moral Outlook. 2. The Second Main Theme Is The Question Of What He Called "Reason And Unreason" In Human Nature And Society. He Criticised The Traditional View Widely Propagated From Aristotle Through Hume To Bertrand Russell, That The Main Functions Of Reason In Human Affairs Lie In The Clarification, Systematisation And Control Of Impulse And Feeling, And The Discovery Of Means To Their Fulfilment. He Contended That Reason And Feeling Should Not Be Held To Be In Opposition, Or Reason As The Slave Of The Passions, But That Reason Could Play A Significant Role In Motivating Action And Directing Feeling And Conation. 3. He Was Inevitably Also Concerned With The Nature Of Justice And Its Relationship To Equality, And The Associated Question Of Law As An Increasingly Important Agent Of Social Change And Reform. 4. Another Pervading Theme In His Work Was The Advocacy Of The Liberal Disposition Of Mind As A Desideratum. He Opposed This To Fanaticism, Impulsiveness, 'Totalitarianism'. He Was For Sanity, Coolness, Reflection And Restraint In Judgment.…
