Social Science

Abstract

THE student of social science may approach his task with either one of two objects in view. He may attempt to expose the permanent conditions upon which social evolution depends. He may, on the other hand, seek to deal with his material in much the same manner as systematists and morphologists have dealt with animals and plants. He may, in short, aim at the building up of a social morphology.
