Says Prof. F. S. C. Northrop, author of
The Meeting of EaJt
and
West:
Tht. t. a forthright, provocative book. It t. devastatingly
critical of contemporary social practices and programs, yet
nonetheless positive, offering both a diagnosis of and a partial,
since excessively individualutic
1
prescription for the dangerous
ills
of the contemporary world.
It
merits seriow attention
be–
cause
it
is
one attempt to apply a new social principle to
which many recent investigators in sociology, anthropology and
the ideological conflicts of culture have been led. ThlS principle
is that local facts or evils in society are not always isolated,
independent things, to
be
accepted or removed directly without
regard to other factors, but are instead often a function of
the social system as a whole. Hence, cures lor specific evils must
reconstruct the traditional ideology and attendant conventional
values as well as aim directly and instrumentally at the evils
themselves. 256 pages
