The Mind and Society, Vol. 1: Trattato Di Sociologia Generale; Non-Logical Conduct (Classic Reprint)

<p>Excerpt from The Mind and Society, Vol. 1: Trattato Di Sociologia Generale\nVilfredo Pareto's Trattato di Sociologia generate appears in this English edition as the realization of dreams and efforts that extend over fifteen years. My first moves towards the introduction of this work to the English-speaking world go hack to 1920 and they were successful in the sense that from that date an eventual publication of the Trattato in English in some form or other was assured. I had published what I believe to be the first American note on Pareto December 3, 1915 (Nation), and the second in 1916 (International Year Book). These two articles were anterior to Professor Robinson's now famous footnote on Pareto in his Mind in the Making, 1921. I reviewed Pareto's Trasformazione della demo-crazia, with allusions to the Trattato in the New York Herald, April 19, 1922, and gave what I believe to have been the first American course on the Trattato in Will Durant's Labor College in New York in the autumn of that same year. I introduced Pareto for the first time to large audiences at meetings of the Foreign Policy Association in New York in December, 1923, and in Philadelphia, January, 1924, and lectured on him again at Columbia in the summer of 1924 and during the spring of 1925. An article called "The Myth of Good English" which I published in Century, August, 1925, and which Edward Valentine Mitchell, of Hartford, included in his Essays of 1925, made explicit reference to Pareto's theory of group-persistences. Disregarding the much writing and lecturing that I did on Pareto between 1925 and 1930, I will note that an article I published in Nation, May, 1926, in view of a certain resonance that it chanced to obtain in the West, I at the time regarded and still regard as the beginning of the Pareto vogue in America.\nAbout the Publisher\nForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Mind and Society, Vol. 1: Trattato Di Sociologia GeneralePareto first expounded the subject matter of these volumes in the form of lectures that were delivered orally and taken down stenographically. Many traces of that origin survive in the body of the printed Italian text. In this translation I eliminate them. Pareto also makes frequent remarks as to the mechanism Of his book or as to his manner of developing his thought. Such comments I regularly throw into footnotes, and in so doing I merely general ize a device that Pareto used to an extent himself. Pareto's original contains a number of repetitions. These too I eliminate, barring exception, inserting cross-references if anything is to be gained by them. In cases where substantial departures from Pareto's text are made, I warn and explain in footnotes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
