Pure Sociology

Pure Sociology: A Treatise On The Origin And Spontaneous Development Of Society is a book written by Lester Frank Ward in 1903. It is a comprehensive study of the origins and development of society, and it explores the underlying principles that govern social behavior. Ward argues that society is not a product of divine intervention or human design, but rather a natural phenomenon that arises spontaneously from the interactions of individuals.The book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the nature of society and its origins, while the second part examines the various factors that contribute to social development. The third part of the book focuses on the principles of social organization and the role of government in regulating society.Throughout the book, Ward draws on a wide range of sources, including anthropology, history, and philosophy, to support his arguments. He also provides numerous examples from different cultures and societies to illustrate his points.Overall, Pure Sociology is a groundbreaking work that challenged many of the prevailing ideas about society and its origins. It remains an important contribution to the field of sociology and continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
