Popis: | The most vulgar mode of escaping from sociological thinking is as vulgar as ever, and all the reasearch and teaching of social scientists diminish it. The war and the “racial” problems which it has underlined have led to much new publication on the subject; yet on essential points there is nothing new in the recent books. All of them from different approaches and with different material attempt to refute popular notions, and several of the writers hint at a certain despondency. If race notions were only dying hard, the situation would be satisfactory: despondency comes from the uneasy feeling, in Barzun and Boas at least, that race notions are not dying but increasing, that the social scientists are fighting a losing fight. |
