Project for a Scientific Sociology

Omtale

Cessante causa, cessat effectus (when the cause ceases, the effect ceases) is applicable for every existing type of social pathology. Project for a Scientific Sociology takes this as a starting point to develop an operational overview of inter-individual behavior. In this book, Joan Casser develops the research of Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, Russian neurologist Ivan Pavlov, Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler among others, to examine energy transference in society. Prediction, motion, operant conditioning, crime, punishment, security, and law-governed behavior are reviewed socio-logically. Casser commences with worked matter and ends with the state in this causal configuration of inter-individual behavior.
