Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outline of Applied Sociology Many, if not most sciences, present two aspects or departments, closely related to each other but distinct from each other. The first department is that which is called the theoretic or pure science. Its function is to study phenomena, ascertain facts, and establish laws and principles. It has no object in view beyond the acquirement of knowledge. The second department is the practical or applied science. This division has much of the nature of an art, its purpose being to take the facts, principles, and laws worked out by pure science, and devise methods of utilizing them to serve some human purpose. It is telic in Professor Ward's phraseology. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outline of Applied Sociology This book is intended to be just what its title suggests - an outline of applied sociology. Dealing with applied sociology, it concerns itself but little with questions of origins, and devotes itself to facts rather than to theories. Being an outline, it is meant to serve rather as a guide to the study of life in society than as a compendium of dogmatic sociological conclusions or a series of finished dissertations on social problems. In the preparation of this work I have been animated by the conviction that the time is ripe for a more thoroughly scientific approach to the solution of the problems of social advancement. There is too much of a tendency to treat each question as a thing by itself, and to forget that life in society is not divided into watertight compartments. I have therefore departed from the method of treatment customary in books of this order, and have sought to take a comprehensive view of the entire field of social life and social endeavor, to correlate in a systematic and logical manner the manifold aspects of the social organization, and to indicate the actual interrelationship between seemingly divergent departments of life. This I believe to be the true, and therefore the scientific view. Accordingly in this book much more emphasis is laid on accurate analysis and classification than upon the exhaustive treatment of specific topics.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Sociology This little work has been mainly the outcome of a course of lectures which I delivered at the School of Sociology of the Hartford Society for Education Extension in 1894 and 1895. They were given merely from notes in six lectures the first of these years, and expanded into twelve lectures the follow ing year in substantially their present form. The American Journal of Sociology having been instituted in that year, I was requested to contribute, and one of the twelve lectures appeared in each number from its first issue, that of July, 1895, until its twelfth, that of' May, 1897, forming an uninter rupted series.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Applied Sociology: A Treatise on the Conscious Improvement of Society by Society This work and its predecessor, Pure Sociology, constitute together a system of sociology, and these, with Dynamic Sociology, The Psychic Factors of Civilization, and the Outlines of Sociology, make up a more comprehensive system Of social philosophy. Should any reader acquaint himself with the whole, he will find it not only con sistent with itself, but progressive in the sense that each successive volume carries the subject a step farther with a minimum of repeti tion or duplicate treatment. The central thought is that of a true science Of society, capable, in the measure that it approaches completeness, of being turned to the profit of mankind. If there is one respect in which it differs more than in others from rival systems Of philosophy it is in its practical character of never losing sight of the end or purpose, nor of the possibilities of conscious effort. It is a reaction against the philosophy of despair that has come to dominate even the most enlightened scientific thought. It aims to point out a remedy for the general paralysis that is creeping over the world, and which a too narrow conception of the law of cosmic evolution serves rather to increase than to diminish. It proclaims the efficacy of effort, provided it is guided by intelligence. It would remove the embargo laid upon human activity by a false interpretation of scientific determinism, and, without having recourse to the equally false con ception of a power to will, it insists upon the power to act.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outline of Practical Sociology: With Special Reference to American Conditions It is not intended that the Outline of Practical So ciology should be exhaustive; there are many great questions, such as taxation, the finances, etc., which have not been included, because they will come more appropriately in other volumes of the American Citi zen Series. The references given at the head of each Chapter could have been greatly increased in number, but it was deemed advisable to give simply those that are most accessible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to Sociology There is' need for a course Of study which will introduce the student to the field of the social sciences. It should give him a broad, comprehensive outlook at the beginning of his college work and prepare him for and arouse his interest in further work in the individual social sciences. This study should make it possible for him to choose his life-activity with reference to all the activities Of society and assist him more or less perma uently in keeping his life-work properly oriented and fitted into its proper place in the life-work Of society. Such a course may well be given, not from the uncorrelated points of view of the respective social sciences, but from a societary point of view. It should clearly indicate that a good member of society should be produced before producing the lawyer, the engineer, the physician, or any other professional or occupational type.1 It should emphasize the fact that the qualities which make good members of communities are more important than the accomplishments of life.1 It should be based upon the proposition that the relations of men to one another are more important than the relations of men to nature.1 It should never overlook the fact that the ideal of the United States today, of individual power and success, instead of being a socializing agency, may become the Chief instrument for dis solving the social order itself.1 The course of study in ques tion should show the solidarity of society and the interdepend ence of all its parts. It is here attempted to present, for example, the political or economic factors in social progress not only from a sociological point of view, but in such a way that the student will want to continue along political science or economic lines as the case may be. The student is not urged to follow up this course with purely sociological studies, but the attempt is made to direct his social interest so that it will find wholesome expres sion through law, politics, business, and so forth. In this out line, history may not appear to have received full consideration as an important member of the group of social sciences, but the course is based on historical data, the historical method is used more or less continuously and such constant emphasis is laid on historical explanations and backgrounds that by the time the course is completed, history is likely to have received more than its proportionate attention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sociological Construction Lines: A Dissertation, Submitted to the Faculties of the Graduate Schools of Arts, Literature, and Science in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Department of Sociology) It is not the popular mind alone that is in uncertainty as to what sociology is. Even to the scientist devoted to the subject the name stands for a problem rather than for an achieved solution. The problem is, moreover, so involved, and it presents so many phases and reduces itself into so many subsidiary problems, that each sociologist addresses himself to a different phase of the whole, a different set of subsidiary problems involved in the total solution; and, as a rule, each is inclined to describe the study of sociology as being just the particular kind of work in which he is absorbed. An extreme illustration of this is the remark of a German scholar, already famous for contributions to the subject which he has embodied in lectures and articles. This man, on being asked what he regarded as the most important sociological books in the German language, answered: There are no books in the German language on sociology as I conceive it. One who surveys the various and contrasting beginnings that have thus far been made is ready to appreciate the words with which Professor Fairbanks begins his Introduction to S ociology' Sociology is the name applied to a rather inchoate mass of materials which embodies our knowledge about society. That this mass of materials includes much that is of great practi cal importance, and that in connection with it there have been developed already some broadening and illuminating points of view, is beyond question. But these points of view are not only independent, but largely isolated and unrelated, and these mate rials are presented in a multiplicity of unreconciled half-systems. The time for complete systematizing is not yet. Is it therefore necessary for the student to plunge at random into the tangle, and wander in confusion; or may he hope to form some approximation to a general concept of the field of sociology? As school-children drawing maps, we were taught to use con struction lines. A few salient points were located, and these were connected by lines which indicated vaguely the outline of the country to be studied. From these points the pencil began to trace the intricate windings of the shore, and with reference to these lines it located rivers, mountains, and cities. The student of soci ology cannot yet lay down a chart of the continent he explores, but he may attempt to form some general conceptions, to discern and state some truths with far-reaching implications, that will serve, like construction lines, to facilitate his progress toward the more accurate tracing of the outlines of this realm, and the com pleter discovery Of its particulars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civics: as Applied Sociology By Patrick Geddes This department of sociological studies should evidently be, as far as possible, concrete in treatment. If it is to appeal to practical men and civic workers, it is important that the methods advocated for the systematic study of cities, and as underlying fruitful action, be not merely the product of the study, but rather be those which may be acquired in course of local observation and practical effort. My problem is thus to outline such general ideas as may naturally crystallise from the experience of any moderately-travelled observer of varied interests; so that his observation of city after city, now panoramic and impressionist, again detailed, should gradually develop towards an orderly Regional Survey. This point of view has next to be correlated with the corresponding practical experience, that which may be acquired through some varied experiences of citizenship, and thence rise toward a larger and more orderly conception of civic action-as Regional Service. In a word, then, Applied Sociology in general, or Civics, as one of its main departments, may be defined as the application of Social Survey to Social Service.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This engaging two-volume study pursues a balance between theoretical and practical sociology. Volume I, subtitled ‘Theoretical Perspectives’, focuses on the problems and prospects of applied sociology in an era of globalization. The essays emphasize the close association of applied sociology with altruism, identity formation, race and ethnicity. They evaluate the empirical ‘truths’ of sociological theories and examine their relevance for contemporary research, poverty, demographic issues and social policies. The authors agree that the ultimate test of theory is the extent to which it can produce knowledge that ‘works’.

With a clear conception of the logical relations of these three terms in the argument the entire scheme and scope of applied sociology will unfold, and the reader will be put in position at least to understand the work, whether or not he accepts its general conclusions.

Download or read book The Fields and Methods of Sociology Classic Reprint written by L. L. Bernard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fields and Methods of Sociology His volume is intended to serve as a textbook for advanced T courses in sociology in which the purpose is to survey the various divisions of sociology as this science has developed in the United States in particular, and in all other countries where the subject is taught or studied. It emphasizes especially the sources of materials for investigation, the methods of research, and the processes of generalization in the various fields of sociological science. Present day sociologists are more interested in research than in classification. It is recognized, however, that intelligent research cannot be undertaken to the best advantage without an adequate understanding of the various divisions into which the general science of sociology falls. Consequently, the first part of the volume is devoted to an analysis of the fields and problems of sociology and the second part to sources and methods. While the volume is organized in textbook form, it is expected that it will appeal very largely to the general reader who is searching for a well organized and clear presentation of the subject of sociology in all its aspects. It is believed that the present volume offers the most complete and thoroughgoing analysis and synthesis of sociological content and methodology now available. I wish to emphasize especially the inductive approach of the present treatise. Every chapter is the result of a careful study of the data it treats. Speculative and a priori approaches have been avoided. Consequently each field of sociology has been analyzed realistically as to subject matter, sources and methods and the results are set forth as clearly and as simply and directly as pos sible.
