Social & Cultural Dynamics: A Study of Change in Major Systems of Art, Truth, Ethics, Law and Social RelationshipsP. Sargent, 1957 - 718 strán (strany) This classic work is a revised and abridged version, in a single volume, of the work which more than any other catapulted Pitirim Sorokin into being one of the most famed figures of twentieth-century sociology. Its original publication occurred before World War II. This revised version, written some twenty years later, reflects a postwar environment. Earlier than most, Sorokin took the consequences of the breakdown of colonialism into account in discussing the renaissance of the great cultures of African and Asian civilization. Other than perhaps F.S.C. Northrop, no individual better incorporated the new role of the Indian, Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic peoples in this postwar world. This volume is perhaps most famous for revealing Sorokin's remarkable efforts to understand the relationship of war and peace to the process of social and political change. This long-unavailable volume remains one of the major touchstones by which we can judge efforts to create an international social science. There are few areas of social and cultural life that are not covered--from painting, art, and music, to the ethos of universalism and particularism. These are terms that Sorokin introduced into the literature long before the rise of functional doctrines. |
