Summary, etc. This book aims to expedite the entrance into sociology and the social<br/>sciences of the beginning student or the interested layman who is without<br/>extensive preparation. It is hoped that the book will be an introductory<br/>stimulus to more detailed work.<br/>I have not sought to protect or shelter the reader from the controversies<br/>seething in the social sciences. Rather have I sought to divulge early the<br/>secrets of the trade, in the belief that intellectual curiosity is aroused<br/>through seeing men in action, in this case social scientists, afire with their<br/>allegiances, interpreting and explaining data according to their lights. If<br/>the apprentice sees living beings as well as cold facts, he should come alive<br/>himself, and in assuming some point of view find that he must conquer<br/>the method and knowledge upon which that point of view rests, as well as<br/>understand other points of view. I am not without my own point of view,<br/>and I hope I have expressed it in no uncertain terms but without being<br/>overly unjust to those who hold differing ones.<br/>Man in Society as a “preface to sociology and the social sciences” is not<br/>meant to be exhaustive, but challenging and provocative. No doubt more<br/>problems have been raised herein than have been solved, and I am sure<br/>there is a little something for everybody to disagree with. But one of my<br/>chief aims has been to communicate some of the excitement of discovering<br/>a problem and to arouse a feeling for the necessity of seeking a solution<br/>on sound methodological bases.<br/>Professors Charles H. Page and Ely Chinoy of Smith College have care-<br/>fully read the manuscript of this book. Professor Page has given help far<br/>beyond the call of official editorial duty, and Professor Chinoy has made<br/>valuable suggestions in several places. I am grateful to them.
