Towards total revolution : Search for an ideology
Narayan,Jayaprakash
Towards total revolution : Search for an ideology - Bombay Popular 1978 - 268p.
A tall, young student from India was set to write a dissertation on "Cultural Variation" for his Master's degree at the Ohio University. There is a difference between a 'social quack' and a 'social scientist,' he asserted. "The aim of science," he wrote, "is often said to be the discovery of Truth."1 "But," he added, "to a more mundane nature, the chief purpose of science appears to be to make human life fuller and richer, to rid it of its inner and outer limitations, to endow it with comfort, health, beauty, to render it more creative, more rational."2
A 'social scientist' is not a 'social quack,' and the primary function of a sociologist is the "study of social or cultural change." To understand this one has to study the factors of cultural variations.
