An Attempt At A Philosophical-Psychological Study Of Politics. Very Near Fine Tiny Pin-Hole On Spine Very Slight Fading To Spine Cloth Gilt Brilliant Small Previous Owner's Name Hand Printed On Rear Endpaper. Per Wikipedia William Ernest Hocking 1873 -1966 Was An American Idealist Philosopher At Harvard University. He Continued The Work Of His Philosophical Teacher Josiah Royce The Founder Of American Idealism In Revising Idealism To Integrate And Fit Into Empiricism Naturalism And Pragmatism. He Said That Metaphysics Has To Make Inductions From Experience: "That Which Does Not Work Is Not True." His Major Field Of Study Was The Philosophy Of Religion But His 22 Books Included Discussions Of Philosophy And Human Rights World Politics Freedom Of The Press The Philosophical Psychology Of Human Nature; Education; And More. In 1908 He Was Called To Yale Where He Served As An Assistant Professor And Published His First Major Work The Meaning Of God In Human Experience 1912. In 1914 Hocking Returned To Harvard Where He Eventually Became Alford Professor Of Natural Religion Moral Philosophy And Civil Polity. Returning To Harvard After The War Hocking Made The Rest Of His Career There. He Led A Highly Influential Study Of Missions In Mainline Protestant Churches In 1932. The Commission's Report Entitled Re-Thinking Missions: A Laymen's Inquiry After One Hundred Years 1932 And Known As The "Hocking Report" Reflected Changing Ideas About The Role Of Western Missionaries In Other Cultures And Generated Fierce Debate. Commission Members Traveled To Asian Cities To Meet Missionaries And Local People. While In China Hocking Consulted With Pearl S. Buck Who Was Developing A Similar Critique Of Missions And Who Later Threw Her Support Behind The Commission's Report. The Commission Recommended A Greater Emphasis On Education And Welfare Transfer Of Power To Local Groups Less Reliance On Evangelizing With Respectful Appreciation For Local Religions. A Recommended Related Goal Was The Transition Of Local Leadership And Institutions. From 1920 To The Late-1930S Hocking Was A Regular Lecturer At The Naval War College In Newport Rhode Island Where He Lectured On "Morale" "Psychology" And "Leadership. Influenced By His Visit To China Hocking Published A Characteristically Open Minded Study Of The Twelfth-Century Chinese Philosopher Zhu Xi. He Argued That Zhu Xi's Thought Was "Scientific" Which Not All European Philosophers Could Claim And Therefore Had Something To Teach Westerners About Democracy. In 1936 Hocking Was Invited To Give The Hibbert Lectures At Oxford And Cambridge Universities In England. These Reflected His Thinking About The Relation Of Christianity To Other World Religions As He Had Begun To Support A Universal Religion. Hocking Thought The Important Elements Were "A Belief In Obligation In A Source Of Things Which Is Good In Some Kind Of Permanence For What Is Real In Selfhood And In The Human Aspect Of Deity." He Pins His Hope More On The Common People Throughout The World Than On The Theologians. In Political Philosophy Hocking Claimed That Liberalism Must Be Superseded By A New Form Of Individualism In Which The Principle Is: "Every Man Shall Be A Whole Man."12 He Believed That Humans Have Only One Natural Right: "An Individual Should Develop The Powers That Are In Him. The Most Important Freedom Is "The Freedom To Perfect One's Freedom." Perhaps Hocking's Most Important Contribution To Philosophy Is "Negative Pragmatism" Which Means That What "Works" Pragmatically Might Or Might Not Be True But What Does Not Work Must Be False. Hocking's Criterion Was Corroborated By Richard Feynman Who Stated That Anything Described As True ". Could Never Be Proved Right Because Tomorrow's Experiment Might Succeed In Proving Wrong What You Thought Was Right ." And ". If It Disagrees With Experiment It Is Wrong." <br/> <br/> Yale University Press hardcover

Minor Shadowing To Endpapers Otherwise Fine In Fine Dj. Signed By Ginsberg On The First Free Endpaper. Morris Ginsberg Fba 1889 - 1970 Was A British Sociologist Who Played A Key Role In The Development Of The Discipline. He Served As Editor Of The Sociological Review In The 1930S And Later Became The Founding Chairman Of The British Sociological Association In 1951 And Its First President 1955-1957. He Was President Of The Aristotelian Society From 1942 To 1943 And Helped Draft The Unesco 1950 Statement Titled The Race Question. In 1921 He Was Reappointed Assistant At The London School Of Economics And Full Lecturer In 1923. A Year Later He Was Appointed To The Readership In Sociology Being Supported By Recommendations From Bronislaw Malinowski And C.G. Seligman As Well As Dawes Hicks From University College London. He Published The Psychology Of Society In 1921 And By 1964 It Had Reached Its Ninth Edition And Had Been Translated Into Many Languages Ranging From Spanish To Japanese. In 1930 He Succeeded Hobhouse To The Martin White Professorship Of Sociology At The London School Of Economics. His Sociology Written In 1934 Was Described By The Guardian In Their Obituary As "Probably The Best Introduction To The Subject Ever Written". Some Of The Major Themes Of His Work Were Concerned With: 1. The Social Responsibility Of Sociologists Which He Saw As Part Of The More General Problem Of The Ethics Of Knowledge. He Believed That There Was An Urgent Need To Undertake Fuller Investigation Of The Relations Between Questions Of Fact And Questions Of Value - Particularly In The Face Of Relativistic Views That Maintain That Social Conflicts Have Their Origin In Fundamental Differences Of Moral Outlook. 2. The Second Main Theme Is The Question Of What He Called "Reason And Unreason" In Human Nature And Society. He Criticised The Traditional View Widely Propagated From Aristotle Through Hume To Bertrand Russell That The Main Functions Of Reason In Human Affairs Lie In The Clarification Systematisation And Control Of Impulse And Feeling And The Discovery Of Means To Their Fulfilment. He Contended That Reason And Feeling Should Not Be Held To Be In Opposition Or Reason As The Slave Of The Passions But That Reason Could Play A Significant Role In Motivating Action And Directing Feeling And Conation. 3. He Was Inevitably Also Concerned With The Nature Of Justice And Its Relationship To Equality And The Associated Question Of Law As An Increasingly Important Agent Of Social Change And Reform. 4. Another Pervading Theme In His Work Was The Advocacy Of The Liberal Disposition Of Mind As A Desideratum. He Opposed This To Fanaticism Impulsiveness 'Totalitarianism'. He Was For Sanity Coolness Reflection And Restraint In Judgment. <br/> <br/> London School of Economics and Political Science hardcover
