Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book invites readers to explore the burgeoning field of sociology, a new science that examines all phenomena of human society. The author, one of the field's pioneers, posits that to truly grasp the complexities of social phenomena, we must employ the same principles that have transformed our understanding of the natural world, through studying qualitative and quantitative cause and effect. Using examples both simple and complex, the author demonstrates that while crude political opinions are common even among the scientifically literate, the scientific method yields far more reliable conclusions in assessing societal issues. Through several sociological case studies and analyses, the author argues powerfully for the necessity of rigorous scientific examination in the realm of politics. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the social world and a more effective means of addressing its challenges.
