Book excerpt: Excerpt from Philosophy and the Social Problem The purpose of this essay is to show: first, that the social problem has been the basic concern of many of the greater philosophers; second, i that an approach to the social problem through philosophy is the first condition of even a moderately successful treatment of this problem; and third, that an approach to philosophy through the social problem is indispensable to the revitalization of philosophy. By "philosophy" we shall understand a study of experience as a whole, or of a portion of experience in relation to the whole. By the "social problem" we shall understand, simply and very broadly, the problem of reducing human misery by modifying social institutions. It is a problem that, ever reshaping itself, eludes sharper definition; for misery is related to desire, and desire is personal and in perpetual flux: each of us sees the problem unsteadily in terms of his own changing aspirations.

The Problems of Philosophy is a 1912 book by Bertrand Russell, in which Russell attempts to create a brief and accessible guide to the problems of philosophy.

There is no reason to doubt the existence of external objects simply because of sense data.
Download or read book The Social Philosophy of Instinct Classic Reprint written by Charles Conant Josey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Social Philosophy of Instinct Social Philosophy of to-day. Indeed, one who reads current discussions of social problems cannot fail to be impressed with the significance that is attached to supposedly innate determinants of human behavior. It is hoped that by various manipulations of these forces, or instincts - that is, by sublimation, repression, suppression, thwarting, expression, and so forth - the good and evil of our society will be explained. It is also hoped that through a knowledge of these innate characters we shall be able to give a psychological interpretation of our moral ideas and sentiments, of our institutions and customs, and of culture in gen eral. In spite of the prevalence of these tendencies and hopes, the assumptions on which they are based seem in many cases to have been accepted uncritically. It is too readily assumed that our values, desires, im pulses, and emotions are determined by forces which we inherit as a result of the behavior or environmental conditions of our ancestors.

Download or read book The Elements of Social Justice Classic Reprint written by L. T. Hobhouse and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Social Justice The subject of this book is the social application of the ethical principles explained by the writer in The Rational Good. These principles are summarized in Chapter I so as to be intelligible without reference to the preceding work, to which the reader is referred for the fuller state ment of the arguments on which they are based. The treatment as here developed is therefore in form deduc tive, but this is not to say that it is an attempt to apply abstract principles without experience. On the contrary, the only valid principles are those that emerge out of our experience, and the function of the highest generaliza tions is to knit our partial views together in a consistent whole. That our social philosophy must form such a whole and that our social efforts suffer from lack of articulate statement and rational coherence is only too palpable. To promote unity of aim among men of good will and lay a basis of co-operation between those attacking different sides of the social problem is a practical problem of the highest importance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Philosophy and Psychology The Editors think that the best preface to this com memorative volume is to be found in the following letter from Professor Garman to President G. S. Hall of Clark University. It was written without thought of publication, but subsequently, with the author's consent, appeared in the American Journal of Psychology, volume ix, 1898. The Editors venture to reprint the letter without the knowledge of Professor Garman, believing that while his course has been changed in detail to give greater promi nence to social problems, the - essential principles remain the same. This course has been for a quarter of a century, not only to those who have continued their philosophical studies, but to all Amherst men who have taken it, the realization of Plato's conception of education, the turn ing of the mind to reality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Principles of Education The problem of philosophy is to bring to light new and more profound meanings. Philosophy seeks to find in the world as a whole a broader and richer significance through discovering the ulti mate and vital relations which exist among its parts. It tries so to organize and unify experience that it may possess the richest and fullest reality pos sible. Philosophy attempts to fit part to part in the great mosaic of creation, confident that the meaning of the whole and of each part will appear when the pattern is complete.

Download or read book Social Purpose written by Hector James Wright Hetherington and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Purpose: A Contribution to a Philosophy of Civic Society This book is the outcome of a series of lectures delivered at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, in August 1916 to the Summer School of the Civic and Moral Education League. The lectures have been considerably altered and enlarged; but it has not been thought necessary to remove all traces of the original lecture form. It may be thought that we have allowed ourselves to spend too much time on the discussion of abstract philosophical doctrines. But we have felt that the serious discussion of every particular social or political question depends in the last resort on a coherent philosophical conception of the nature of civic society. One cannot analyse any social structure without raising the central problem of the principle of social organization in the mind of man; and when that issue has been raised, one must be ready to face it in all its severity and complexity. It is, we believe, a fault of much recent social philosophy that it makes its problem too artificially simple. It produces an admirably precise and lucid list of diversified social institutions, whose single defect is that it is untrue to the unity of the human spirit. For that reason while the endeavour of a considerable part of this book has been to define as accurately as possible the character of various institutions, and to bring out their mutual relations, yet in so far as that attempt is mainly analytical, it would, if it stood by itself, offer something less than what we believe to be the truth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Physics: From the Positive Philosophy of Auguste Comte The misfortune Of our actual state is that the two ideas are set up in radical Opposition to each other - the retrograde Spirit having directed all efforts-ih favor of Order, and anarchical doctrine hav ing arrogated to itself the charge Of Social Progress; and, in this state of things, the reproaches exchanged between the respective parties are only too well merited by both. In this vicious circle is society new confined and the only issue from it is by the undispu ted preponderance Of a doctrine equally progressive and hierarchi cal. The Observations which I have to make On this subject are applicable to all European societies, which have, in fact, all under gone a common disorganization, though in different degrees, and with various modifications, and which can not be separately reergam izod, however they may be for a time restrained; but I shall keep the French nation chiefly in view, not only because the revolution ary state has been most conspicuous in them, but because they are, in all important respects, better prepared, in Spite Of appearances, than any other, for a true reorganization.
