Synopsis
Excerpt from Property: Its Origin and Development
MY inspiration for this book, as for earlier volumes, has been drawn from that fruitful method which alone, I believe, can throw light upon sociological origins: I Speak of the ethnographic method, which consists in looking upon existing inferior races as living representatives of our primitive ancestors. I am not here concerned to justify this method of treatment. It is the very basis of evolutionary socio logy, since it allows us to study (to visu the series of social stages swallowed up in the gulf of the past. By its help the most distant ages rise again in flesh and blood; by the most scientific Of incantations the past becomes the present, and the Observer can simultaneously criticise the successive phases through which civilised peoples have taken chronological cycles to pass. Whatever fresh sociological question may be approached, it thus becomes possible to study all its historic and prehistoric links, to embrace, at a glance, the slow strivings of humanity, and call up a spectacle of striking interest.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the evolution of property and its role in the development of societies from primitive to modern times.
