Excerpt from Of Social Life
In an early essay I remarked that there was no definite science of society beyond that contained in such specific studies as economics and politics. That view I now believe to be wholly mistaken, and I hope that this present volume adds one to the many disproofs of it revealed by the recent progress of the subject. There was some excuse for the contrary opinion, for many a vain and specious formula has been set forward in the name of sociology, many a hollow generalisation has been declared an eternal social law, and too frequently the invention of terms has taken the place of the discovery of principles. But the stars fulfilled their courses unmoved by the imaginations of astrologers, and community works out social law despite the errors of us who profess to study it. Community is not only a real, it is a vital subject of study.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introduction to the study of human community, the common life shared between individuals. The author argues that communities are central to understanding the nature of society, as they are the sites of social interaction and organization. He distinguishes between community and association, arguing that community is a more encompassing and fundamental concept. The book explores the various ways in which communities are formed and structured, and how they change over time. It also examines the relationship between community and the state, and the role of community in fostering social cohesion and individual well-being. The author concludes by arguing that community is essential for human flourishing and that it is important to understand the factors that promote and hinder its development. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of sociology, political science, and related disciplines, as well as anyone interested in the nature of human society and the importance of community.
