Sinossi
Excerpt from Social Process
When we speak of human life we are apt to assume that the existing tendency is some conscious purpose, and that whatever goes to realize this is working, and every thing else is failure to work. In other words, we make the whole matter voluntary and utilitarian. This is an inadequate and for the most part a wrong conception of the case. The working of a man, or of any other human whole, in a given situation is much more nearly analogous to that of the vine than we perceive. Although conscious purpose may play a central part in it, there is also a whole organism' of tendencies that feel their way about in the situation, reacting in a complex and mainly unconscious way. To put it shortly, it is a man's character that works, and of this definite purpose may or may not be a part.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique perspective on the nature of human life and society, exploring the dynamics of social process through the lens of organic growth and development. The author challenges traditional views of human action as solely driven by conscious will and instead emphasizes the role of unconscious tendencies, interactions, and adaptations that shape both individual and collective behavior. The book draws upon principles of evolution and the concept of "the tentative method" to explain how societies develop and change over time. This concept explores how social structures, like language, traditions, and institutions, arise through a process of trial and error, with successful adaptations becoming dominant while unsuccessful ones wither away. The author argues that even seemingly impersonal forces, such as economic cycles and cultural trends, are driven by complex organic processes that are ultimately rooted in human interaction. The author further explores the themes of conflict and cooperation, arguing that these are not mutually exclusive but rather essential components of social growth. He challenges the simplistic notion that conflict is inherently destructive, suggesting instead that it can serve as a catalyst for innovation and progress. Throughout, the book encourages a dynamic and nuanced understanding of social processes, highlighting the interconnectedness of individuals, groups, and ideas within a larger, ever-evolving whole.
