"The wisdom of how to live with one another amid different cultures will not come from further investigations in the field of the natural or physical sciences, no matter how beneficial or desirable the penetration of the mysteries of nature may be for one man's physical well-being. It must come about, as Teggart emphasized repeatedly, from studying the record of man's experience in answer to the question: HOW HAS MAN EVERYWHERE COME TO BE AS HE IS? The uncertainty that afflicts scientists today results from the failure of historians to apply the method of science to the study of the data of history. Humanistic studies have not kept pace with natural science. [.] What we may hope, what we may expect, if or when the same qualities are enlisted in the science of man: the study of these achievements and failures in the past in order to guide man in government today and in the future toward solving the problems of mankend?" --Jacket. // "Frederick John Teggart (1870?1946) was an Irish-American historian and social scientist, known for work on the history of civilizations. He was born in Belfast on 9 May 1870, and was educated at Methodist College Belfast and Trinity College, Dublin. He emigrated to the United States and graduated B.A. at Stanford University in 1894. He then worked as a librarian, first at Stanford and then at the Mechanics-Mercantile Library in San Francisco. He had positions at the University of California, becoming Associate Professor there in 1911; in 1919 a new department was set up for him, at Berkeley, the Department of Social Institutions. A full professor in 1925, he retired in 1940, although he remained actively engaged in research until shortly before his death. He supervised Robert Nisbet's doctorate studies."?Wikipedia. Teggart also influenced Arnold J. Toynbee. //Aufsatzsammlung, Bibliothek, Biblioth?caires Californie Biographies, Biblioth?conomie, Biographies, Biography, Buch, California, Civilisation Histoire, Civilization, Civilization History, Geschichte, Histoire, Historians, Historians California Biography, History, Librarians, Librarians California Biography, Library Science, Library science, Teggart, Frederick John, 1870-1946, Weltgeschichte, history (discipline), library science.
