Excerpt from A Philosophy of Social Progress I will make bold to state my heresies dogmatically. Sociology is commonly described as the science of social life. I do not believe that there is or can be any science of social life; nor do I believe that sociology is or can be a science. There is a little scientific knowledge of some few of the conditions under which we socii live, of some few of the activities in which our social life is manifested. What passes for sociology is a collection of generalizations of very varying value; and it is inevitable that most social generalizations shall be at once more or less dignified guesses, and more or less disguised ex pressions of the hopes and fears, the prejudices and beliefs, of their originators. There may, however, be a philosophy of social life - or rather, of social change; but this will be transcendental, of course, and will always be very closely analogous to a religious faith. It will vary from age to age, just as the forms of faith do; that is to say, the expression of its dominant conceptions will vary.

Excerpt from Science and Social Progress: A Philosophical Introduction to Moral Science "Give us a guide," cry men to the philosopher. "We would escape from these miseries in which we are entangled. A better state is ever present to our imaginations, and we yearn after it; but all our efforts to realize it are fruitless. We are weary of perpetual failures; tell us by what rule we may attain our desire..." "Have a little patience," returns the moralist, "and I will give you my opinion as to the mode of securing this greatest happiness to the greatest number." "There again," exclaim the objectors, "you mistake our requirement. We want something else than opinions. We have had enough of them. Every futile scheme for the general good has been based on opinion; and we have no guarantee that your plan will not add one to the list of failures. Have you discovered a means of forming an infallible judgment? If not, you are, for aught we know, as much in the dark as ourselves. True, you have obtained a clearer view of the end to be arrived at; but concerning the route leading to it, your offer of an opinion proves that you know nothing more certain than we do. We demur to your maxim because it is not what we wanted - a guide; because it dictates no sure mode of securing the desideratum; because it puts no veto on a mistaken policy; because it permits all actions - bad, as readily as good - provided only the actors believe them conducive to the prescribed end. Your doctrines of 'expediency' or 'utility' or 'general good' or 'greatest happiness to the greatest number' afford not a solitary command of a practical character. Let but rulers think, or profess to think, that their measures will benefit the community, and your philosophy stands mute in the presence of the most egregious folly, or the blackest misconduct. This will not do for us. We seek a system that can return a definite answer when we ask - 'Is this act good?'" This eternal demand confronts us to-day with a more awful urgency than ever before. The times are bristling with urgent issues. Men and women are compelled to face them and to decide. There are not merely the whole host of petty personal problems, nor merely the familiar combats of local politics, nor even the greater issues of national life and polity.

Excerpt from A Philosophy of Social Progress I ask the reader's pardon for a lengthy preface and introduction. It is not necessary, for an understanding of the argument, that either should be read; most readers will do wisely to omit them - as I think they usually do. But both are necessary in order to justify the unusual treatment of the subject which I have adopted, and to explain the object of the book. For my aim is a double one: I have attempted to introduce students and general readers to a point of view which may increase their interest in the study of social life, and perhaps, too, their understanding of the issues involved in all progress and reform; I have attempted also to attack the usual conception of social science, and the usual methods of presenting that science. Of these two aims, the former has resulted in a treatment of some of the principles of sociology which is at any rate unusual. There is, I believe, no book on general sociology which is satisfactory for ordinary people; and in view of the extraordinary vagueness of the subject, it is unlikely that any satisfactory introductory book will be produced.

Excerpt from Social Progress: An Essay Thomas Brown, Stuart Mill's 'logic, ' Bain's works, and finally Herbert Spencer. The result was an entire mental revolution culminating in a profound convic tion that while German philosophy of the Kantian type was useful as a corrective, the most valuable work in psychology and philosophy belonged to Eng land. This I do not doubt to - day, though German psychological study in special directions has been very fruitful and is worthy of high credit. Psycho logyis certainly entitled to be called a science, although there may be some who still dispute its claims. The unscientific character ascribed to it, however, has been largely owing to the failure of its devotees to cast off metaphysical and speculative connections both in the method of study and in the exhibition of results. It has progressed to a scientific standing by the adop tion of the method of all science, namely, the observa tion of facts and generalisation, wholly irrespective of any metaphysical or transcendental implications. Such implications cannot be excluded from psychological science, but whatever philosophical doctrines are adumbrated or even expressed should follow and not lead the course of psychological thought.

Excerpt from Present Status of Social Science: A Review, Historical and Critical, of the Progress of Thought in Social Philosophy For then, for the first time, do phenomena, which before pre sented an unintelligible appearance, become clearly intelligible. Then do objects, which before appeared to the mind in an inverted position, assume their true normal position. Then do facts and observations, which before, as it were, stood upon their heads, turn to their feet - the delighted mind is constrained to exclaim eureka, and the new science stands before the mental view in all its wonderful simplicity and beauty.
