Social Thought Among the Early Greeks (Classic Reprint) by Joseph B. Gittler Pdf

Excerpt from Social Thought Among the Early Greeks The social thoughts of a person consist of his ideas about social phenomena. In order to think about social phenomena it is not necessary to be conscious of any fundamental axis of inquiry, any methods, any concepts, or any frame of reference - these are what distinguish a science and a discipline from random thought. Hence, before we can speak of sociological thought we must know what concepts and methods of sociology are present in a social thinking. Sociology, to distinguish it from social thought, consists of a body of knowledge, employ ing various methods and concepts, which seeks to determine the facts of human behavior by virtue of the fact that man lives in groups. It studies human relations in so far as they can be interpreted on the premise of group life. Thus, while sociological thought (as well as political thought, economic thought, and so on) is part of social thought, social thought is not necessarily sociological thought. Not all sociologists accept this difference. Some identify sociology with social thought; others do not. This moot ques tion has caused differences of Opinion as to the origins of soci ology. On that account, numerous sociologists hold a variety of diverse Views in regard to the beginnings of sociology as an intellectual discipline. We might classify these conceptions of the origins of sociology into the following groups: (i) the theory that sociology dates back to ancient times and to the Greeks in particular (this view is upheld by Spann, Bogardus.

Sleep and Dreams in Early Greek Thought by Stephanie Holton Pdf

This book examines how sleep and dreams were approached in early Greek thought, highlighting the theories of the Presocratic and Hippocratic writers on both phenomena as more varied, complex, and substantial than is usually credited. It explores how the Presocratic natural philosophers and early Hippocratic medical writers developed theories which drew from wider investigations into physiology and psychology, the natural world and the self, while also engaging with wider literary depictions and established cultural beliefs. Although the focus is predominantly on Presocratic and Hippocratic ideas, this is not exclusive: attention is devoted from the outset to sleep and dreams in Homer and the mythic tradition, as well as to depictions across lyric, drama, and historiography. Sleep and Dreams in Early Greek Thought provides a fascinating study of this topic which will be of interest to students and scholars of ancient medicine and the history of science, Greek philosophy, and classical culture more broadly. It is accessible to students with or without knowledge of the classical languages, and also to anyone with a general interest in the beliefs of the classical world.

Greek Ideals by Cecil Delisle Burns Pdf

Excerpt from Greek Ideals: A Study of Social Life This book contains no reference which will be new to scholars and no subversively new conclusions drawn from the old evidence. It is an attempt at nothing more than an analysis of some of the ideals which are usually called Greek. And, as will be easily seen, Greek in this sense means Athenian. A short explanation then is needed, both of what is here meant by an ideal and of the limitations here imposed on the word Greek. The life of every people, in so far as it is not simply, formed by circumstances, is governed by their ideals. An ideal is less violent and less unconsidered than a desire or an expectation, and thus it may have less place than passion in moving men to action. But the action to which it moves is progressive, whereas the violence of passion or the inconsiderateness of expectation, may destroy almost as often as it urges men forward.1 An ideal is an emotionally coloured conception of a state of things, 1 which would be better than the present.

Social Life in Greece by John Pentland Mahaffy Pdf

Excerpt from Social Life in Greece: From Homer to Menander Among the nations which stand out in the course of history as having done most to promote human knowledge, human art, and human culture, the Greeks are first in the judgment of all competent observers. The hold which Greek literature retains on our modern education is not the mere result of prece dent or fashion. Every thinking man who becomes acquainted with the masterpieces of Greek writing, must see plainly that they stand to us in a far closer relation than the other remains of antiquity. They are not mere Obj ects of curiosity to the archaologist, not mere treasure-houses of roots and forms to be sought out by comparative grammarians. They are the writings of men of like culture with ourselves, who argue with the same logic, who reflect with kindred feelings. They have worked out social and moral problems like ourselves; they have expressed them in such language as we should desire to use. In a word, they are thoroughly modern, more modern even than the epochs quite proximate to our own. The disjointed sentences of the Egyptian moralist.

Man's Most Dangerous Myth by Ashley Montagu Pdf

Man's Most Dangerous Myth was first published in 1942, when Nazism flourished, when African Americans sat at the back of the bus, and when race was considered the determinant of people's character and intelligence. It presented a revolutionary theory for its time; breaking the link between genetics and culture, it argued that race is largely a social construction and not constitutive of significant biological differences between people. In the ensuing 55 years, as Ashley Montagu's radical hypothesis became accepted knowledge, succeeding editions of his book traced the changes in our conceptions of race and race relations over the 20th century. Now, over 50 years later, Man's Most Dangerous Myth is back in print, fully revised by the original author. Montagu is internationally renowned for his work on race, as well as for such influential books as The Natural Superiority of Women, Touching, and The Elephant Man. This new edition contains Montagu's most complete explication of his theory and a thorough updating of previous editions. The Sixth Edition takes on the issues of the Bell Curve, IQ testing, ethnic cleansing and other current race relations topics, as well as contemporary restatements of topics previously addressed. A bibliography of almost 3,000 published items on race, compiled over a lifetime of work, is of enormous research value. Also available is an abridged student edition containing the essence of Montagu's argument, its policy implications, and his thoughts on contemporary race issues for use in classrooms. Ahead of its time in 1942, Montagu's arguments still contribute essential and salient perspectives as we face the issue of race in the 1990s. Man's Most Dangerous Myth is the seminal work of one of the 20th century's leading intellectuals, essential reading for all scholars and students of race relations.

Classical Horizons by George E. McCarthy Pdf

2003 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title This work relocates the origins of nineteenth-century social theory in classical Greece and focuses on three figures: Karl Marx, Max Weber, and Émile Durkheim, all of whom wrote dissertations on the culture and structure of ancient society. Greek philosophy, art, and politics inspired their ideas, stirred their imaginations, and defined their intellectual horizons. McCarthy rediscovers the forgotten dreams and classical horizons of these European social theorists and uncovers the close connections between sociology and philosophy, offering new insights into the methods, theories, and approaches of modern social science.

The Internet in China by Zixue Tai Pdf

The Internet in China examines the cultural and political ramifications of the Internet for Chinese society. The rapid growth of the Internet has been enthusiastically embraced by the Chinese government, but the government has also rushed to seize control of the virtual environment. Individuals have responded with impassioned campaigns against official control of information. The emergence of a civil society via cyberspace has had profound effects upon China--for example, in 2003, based on an Internet campaign, the Chinese Supreme People's Court overturned the ruling of a local court for the first time since the Communist Party came to power in 1949. The important question this book asks is not whether the Internet will democratize China, but rather in what ways the Internet is democratizing communication in China. How is the Internet empowering individuals by fostering new types of social spaces and redefining existing social relations?
