Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Introduction to the Science of Sociology: Development of Modern Philosophies of Society, With Special Reference to Comte Schäffle, Bluntchli, Lieber, Lotze, Spencer and Ward
This outline is nothing more than the rough draft of a scheme of sociological study. It is printed not because it is sufficiently matured for publication, but because a basis for class room work was needed, and because nothing suited to my purpose exists. The aim of the syllabus is to present, in the form of a brief thesis, at each significant point in the survey, the thought which seems to me most mature. In each case this thesis is expounded by citation of views, parallel, tangent, related by similarity or contrast.
