Download or read book Human Nature and the Social Order written by Charles Horton Cooley and published by . This book was released on 1902 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work remains a pioneer sociological treatise on American culture. By understanding the individual not as the product of society but as its mirror image, Cooley concludes that the social order cannot be imposed from outside human nature but that it arises from the self. Cooley stimulated pedagogical inquiry into the dynamics of society with the publication of Human Nature and the Social Order in 1902. Human Nature and the Social Order is something more than an admirable ethical treatise. It is also a classic work on the process of social communication as the "very stuff" of which the self is made.
Download or read book Human Nature and the Social Order written by Edward Lee Thorndike and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1969 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publication of this abridgement returns to intellectual commerce a major statement by one of the founders of exact social research. An early attempt to effect an integration of the social sciences, the massive original of 1940 exceeded the attention span of many readers, and it is hoped that this more readable edition will spark a renewal of the debate over its ideas. These excerpts from the editor's introduction underline some of the main ideas: "In Thorndike's own belief, individual salvation and public welfare lay most securely in the recourse to facts, a more trustworthy base than is character-building, given Thorndike's essentially pessimistic views of human nature in the abstract." Most social thinkers "could not accept Thorndike's hereditarian conclusions. Their own professionalism, however, caused them to agree with the position that he accorded to trained leadership, to expert judgment—another of the key ideas of Human Nature and the Social Order..." "Good genes, plus the scientific habits of the mind learned and powers trained, he believed to be the superior predictors of those who would function best as the impartial, objective benefactors of mankind—if only the men in power would share their monopoly on leadership, or at least consult seriously with them.... With the student radicals' demand that the professors do morethan describe and investigate society—that they engage their knowledge in efforts to improve society—E. L. Thorndike would agree." The guiding principle in abridging Human Nature and the Social Order(a work which in the original numbered over one thousand pages) was that the repetitive exposition and excessive illustration be eliminated without depriving the reader of that opportunity to understand the workings and qualities of Thorndike's mind and the revealing aspects of his personality that obtained in the original volume. Many long quotations were removed altogether and the rest was drastically shortened; but so that the reader might be informed of all the authors and works originally quoted or referred to by Thorndike, the Bibliography has been left unaltered.

Download or read book Human Nature and the Social Order written by Charles Horton Cooley and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-14 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Horton Cooley's account of human beings, their behavior, and how they organize themselves has been praised for its originality, and remains an underappreciated and much-cited classic of sociology. Human Nature and the Social Order is a logically composed book which straddles and to a degree transcends the boundaries between philosophy, psychology and sociology. Cooley wished to clarify the behavior of human beings, how they come to interact and socialize with one another, and how they arrive at a definition of themselves that is in harmony with their own well-being and that of others. Later in the book, Cooley discusses qualities which have been promoted or felt as necessary for humans in civilized society. Good, conscientious and beneficent leadership, the possession of a moral compass and conscience, and the excellent values of freedom receive their own discussions with positive and negative elements comprising the well-rounded analyses. With leadership, Cooley is primarily concerned with the qualities that see a good leader promoted to the higher echelons of the social order - but also the fact that his best qualities may detrimentally eclipse the rest of his personality. Cooley also examines human nature when it becomes degenerate, reflecting on whether such degeneracy is inherited, and to what extent it can become accepted among groups of people. What arouses hostility between people and their social orders, where this function of the mind originated, and the use of fear in causing hostility are matters Cooley also takes interest in. This printing of Human Nature and the Social Order is adapted from the revised and updated 1922 edition, and is inclusive of the author's original notes and references appended at the close of each chapter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collective Behavior During the decade and a half since it was taken off an airy diet Of instincts and put on a nourishing diet Of factual data, social psychology has been the child prodigy and the problem. Child Of the social sciences. Growing awkwardly and sometimes randomly, but always growing at a tremendous. Rate, it was bold and meek by turns. Roundly cursed by some for the havoc its virile concepts caused in the elder disciplines, it was just as roundly praised by others for What it contributed to these disciplines. Social psychology still retains its youthful vigor, but it has now passed its troubled adolescence and has arrived at a mature understanding of its phenomena. That understanding, briefly stated, is that the personality Of the human being is acquired in the course Of social interactions with other human beings.

Download or read book Human Natures written by Paul R. Ehrlich and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2001-12-31 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do we behave the way we do? Biologist Paul Ehrlich suggests that although people share a common genetic code, these genes "do not shout commands at us...at the very most, they whisper suggestions." He argues that human nature is not so much result of genetic coding; rather, it is heavily influenced by cultural conditioning and environmental factors. With personal anecdotes, a well-written narrative, and clear examples, Human Natures is a major work of synthesis and scholarship as well as a valuable primer on genetics and evolution that makes complex scientific concepts accessible to lay readers.

Book excerpt: "In the main, the method of the book is the method that has been called that of the "participant observer." The book should be used by the student, therefore, as a sort of laboratory manual, its generalizations to be tested so far as possible by the observation of social groups with which the student has had experience. Illustrative material will also be found, however, in written history, in anthropological books, and in works in sociology, especially in my elementary text, Sociology and Modern Social Problems. Such qualitative analysis of the determinants in group behavior is necessary before quantitative analysis can be fruitfully undertaken"--Préface.
