Hegel for the (Middle) Ages
This is an extremely important and timely book that makes a number of bold claims. Some of these claims are, in my view, too boldly formulated and they thereby overly restrict Cole's focus. But to the extent that this restricted focus has allowed him to bring out aspects of Hegel's thought that have been under-illuminated and are of relevance to discussions in Marxist and other contemporary theories, even the overstatements turn out to be product…
Primal Religious Experience as Philosophical Evidence
Religion, is engaged in a very specific task. Sharma poses the question of the contribution that primal religions can make to Western philoso-phy of religion. Sharma begins with two givens: the philosophy of reli-gion as it exists in the Western academic world, especially as defined by John Hick, and “primal religion ” as it is described in a number of well-known works, such as those of John Mbiti and Geoffrey Parrinder in the case of African rel…
The Enduring Legacy of Elton Mayo
When Human Relations first appeared, Elton Mayo had just retired from Harvard and was at the peak of his fame. All contributors to the journal in its first decade would have acknowledged his already legendary status as a pioneer of applied social science, especially in the workplace. His fall from grace in the late 1950s coincided with growing ideological-cum-methodological critiques of the Hawthorne Experiments. In the event, this sustained inte…
Elton Mayo and the English Dream
Elton Mayo remains a controversial but elusive figure in the development of applied social science. A re-examination of the principal myths surrounding him is made possible by new evidence chiefly from family letters. These show the importance of England to him both personally and professionally and throw a new light on his lack of integration into American academic life and on the nature of his influence in Britain
Elton Mayo and the Hidden Hawthorne
Fifty years of controversy have established the Hawthorne Experiments as industrial sociology's most durable legend and Elton Mayo as one of its most enigmatic figures. The precise part played by Mayo has been the subject of widely different interpretations both favourable and unfavourable. New evidence from his personal papers and from the Hawthorne archives support the view that his was a central role in developing as well as publicising the Ex…

The University Teaching of the Social Sciences
Sociology and Management Studies
HE CONTRIBUTION of the sociologist to the study of | industrial problems, particularly those of morale and inter1 group conflict, has been increasingly acknowledged in recent years; and one might reasonably expect recognition of this development in the teaching of management subjects in the universities. Yet if we make the obvious comparison between Britain and the United States, there is a considerable difference. Sociology is no stranger to the…
New Ways in Industrial Sociology
tF INDUSTRIAL SOCIOLOGY must be given a beginning, it | is generally agreed to have been fathered by the Hawthorne XExperiments and the subsequent writings of Elton Mayo and his colleagues. The full account of those experiments Roethlisberger and Dickson's Management and the Worker was published in I939, SO we shall shortly be able to celebrate the infant's coming of age. Looking back, he seems to have followed a fairly typical pattern of develop…
