[EAN: 9781330437438], Neubuch, [PU: Forgotten Books, United States], Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from Sociology, Popular Lectures and Discussions Before the Brooklyn Ethical Association Sociology: a new word for a new generation: the name of a new science - the science of social evolution. To Auguste Comte we owe the name, and some pregnant suggestions as to the character of the new science. To Herbert Spencer, more than to any other thinker, we owe the formulation of its laws, and the collection and classification of the facts on which they are based. A growing multitude of other writers, however, have ably contributed to the numerous departments of sociological research, bringing to this new field of study a wealth of patience in scientific investigation, and thoughtful consideration for social phenomena. Sociology is a science yet in the making. It is not an exact science, like mathematics. It formulates no dogmas. It Recognizes the relativity of societary forms, customs and institutions. It has no authoritative priesthood. It presents no panaceas for the reformation of social ills. It clearly indicates, however, the natural trend of societary evolution, and thus affords wise suggestions for our guidance in practical affairs. Its word is one of salutary caution rather than of definite and formal instruction concerning the duties of the hour. Sociology is based on Evolution. The present interest in its problems, and their supreme importance to human well-being, rendered it the natural topic for the consideration of the Brooklyn Ethical Association, following the general discussion of the doctrine of Evolution in the previous volume of these lectures. Sociology recognizes that the method of Nature in society is identical with its method in the development of suns and planetary systems, of vegetal and animal life, and of the body and mind of individual man. This method is the method of natural growth as contra-distinguished from supernatural creation or artificial manufacture. It involves that element of spontaneity which is inherent in all processes of organic growth, and which in the mind of man appears under the form of self-conscious freedom. Societary growth is regular, orderly, in accordance with its own inherent laws: but these laws arc not mechanically imposed conditions.
