| Summary |
"Much has been written from time to time on the nature of the individual and society; for the drama of man through the ages is an absorbing one and resistless in its appeal. The individual who is outstanding in goodness or evil, of extraordinary power in some direction, has often been seized upon as a hero or heroine in drama, song, and novel. Society also has received the special attention of historians and philosophers who have theorized on the great movements in the story of mankind, and have striven to account for them. Too often however, the place of the ordinary individual in society, and the interaction between them, which accounts for the particular development of both, have been neglected. Accordingly, in this book, an attempt is made to show the relation between the two by examining the nature of personality in relation to the various aspects of social life. From this it will be seen that the final criterion of true progress lies in the opportunity given to every individual to develop his personality to the fullest extent in conformity with the common good; and that such an opportunity may only occur in an atmosphere of peace and cooperation within society as a whole"--Introduction.
