[PU: Madison: International Universities Press], XII, 433 p. Hardcover with dust jacket. Schutzumschlag berieben, Randläsuren mit kleinen Einrissen, Kopfschnitt angegraut, Bleistifteintrag auf Vorsatz, sonst gut und innen sauber / dust jacket rubbed, edgewear with small tears, top edge graying, pencil entry on endpaper, otherwise good and clean inside. - The underlying theme of this title is that analysis of the social and psychological conditions for work and creativity can offer valuable insight into almost every human activity. The major recurring issues are, on the one hand, the effect of social institutions on the mental state of the individual and, on the other hand, the contribution which the particular psychological characteristics of the individual can make for the good of society. The author investigates the ultimate objective of any form of work, the part played by acquiring knowledge in the creative process, and the effect of environment on the individual’s creative output. More specific issues, such as the problems of management, the human sense of justice, guilt, conscience, and “natural law” are also considered. The common denominator of these varied topics is the author’s belief that meaningful solutions to social problems can be constructed only on a scientific analysis of the actual, as opposed to assumed, psychological and social conditions in which the problems exist. With this as his precept, whether he is discussing the human consequences of industrialization, the psychopathology of work, or his own theory of death and the midlife crisis, he suggests practical means by which society may foster, and by the same token benefit from, individual self-fulfillment. / Contents Introduction Acknowledgments 1.
