WILLIAMS, JAMES MICKEL.[[2]] Foundations of social science. *$6 Knopf 301
The book is an analysis of the psychological aspects of the social sciences and emphasizes the vital relation of social psychology to the other social sciences, pointing out how the advancement of the latter is dependent on the development of the former. Although the assumptions of social science are in their last analysis, all resting on human nature, they have relied too much on the traditional social relations and have failed to discriminate between “a motive that is essential in traditional political relations, or in traditional economic relations and one that is essential in human nature.” Also they have allowed mass phenomena to obscure the individual and have lost sight of the fact that only through the operation of certain instinctive dispositions of individuals do they act as groups. The volume falls into four parts: Social psychology and political science; Social psychology and jurisprudence; Social psychology as related to economics, history and sociology; The field and methods of social psychology. Appended is a partial list of the books, documents and articles referred to in the text, and an index of subjects.
