Encyclopaedia of Applied Sociology and Psychology 3V.

This work and its predecessor, Pure Sociolo- gy, constitute together a system of sociology, and these, with Dynamic Sociology, The Psy- chic Factors of Civilization, and the Outlines of Sociology, make up a more comprehen- sive system of social philosophy. Should any reader acquaint himself with the whole, he will find it not only consistent with itself, but progressive in the sense that each successive volume carries the subject a step farther with a minimum of repetition or duplicate treat- ment. In this book proclaims the efficacy of effort, provided it is guided by intelligence. It would remove the embargo laid upon human activity by a false interpretation of scientific determinism, and, without having recourse to the equally false conception of a power to will, it insists upon the power to act.
