| Samenvatting: | This book is about Personality, society and culture. Part one: Some basic relations of personality to society and culture. Part two: Some aspects of human conflict. Part three: Mass behaviour. Finally, the revolutionary threat to democratic culture and the appearance of total war in our time raise pertinent questions regarding the nature and use of power. If our liberal, industrialized world is not to disappear, serious concideration must be given to the problems of power; its functions in mass society; its various forms; the matter of who shall exercise it; and the central problem of all - the moral resposibility for its use. I have attempted a sketch of this topic on the closing chapter, and particular features of the use of power are discussed at many points throughout. |
