The Jews and Modern Capitalism
We are only now beginning to realize that colonial expansion was no small force in the development of modern capitalism.It is the purpose of this chapter to show that in the work of that expansion the Jews played, if not the most decisive, at any rate a most prominent part.That the Jews should have been keen colonial settlers was only natural, seeing that the New World, though it was but the Old in a new garb, seemed to hold out a greater promise…

Friedman. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2010. 343pp. $29.95 cloth. ISBN: 9780691138886. In 1862 Moses Hess, a German Young Hege lian, commended the Hasidic movements as practical socialism.

Pipes then looks at conspiraci…
E. Digby Baltzell: Moral Rhetoric and Research Methodology
The ways in which values are assimilated to social research differ according to the theoretical frame of reference informing the research. An example from the writings of E. Digby Baltzell illustrates how a moral commitment shaped his assumptions about the nature of the social matrix and his research strategies. A Western moral rhetoric fares well if the researcher chooses a methodologically individualist framework. The framework assists a moral …

Social Knowledge for Social Policy
Lazarsfeld, as President of the American Sociological Association in 1962, called for annual convention papers on “The Uses of Sociology.” Lazarsfeld asked whether “the rapidly mounting stream of empirical studies and the increasing number of publications on social theory have contributed to anything the educated citizen would find worthwhile.” Among other things he asked specifically about unavoidable gaps between research findings and advice fo…

Growing governmental involvement in energy activities has contributed to politicizing relations among energy suppliers and energy consumers within nations. The environmental and energy social movements are expressions of conflict between social strata. Ene…

Is Religion Universal? Problems of Definition
THE role of religion ih society seems to have been rather cohasistently over or underestimated. The social science tradition in the early twentieth century was often influenced by Marxism ahd other alati-religious doctrines, which were interpreted as regarding religion as but a superficial expression of deeper-lying economic and social forces, an epiphenomenon to be dealt with rather lightly. Others within social science-most notably perhaps Max …

Fundamen tal solutions to environmental problems …

A Dynamic Psychology of Religion
An Empirical Study of "Ethical Neutrality" among Behavioral Scientists
The names of twelve hundred and twenty-six concepts used in reports of research on human behavior under stress are classified according to whether, on the one hand, they are ethically neutral, or, on the other hand, are negatively or positively value-loaded. The proportion of value-neutral terms used by a researcher is responsive to the theological- philosophical position of his religious group on the possibility and desirability of scientific “e…
Images of Man: An Empirical Enquiry
MARTIN BUBER observed that philosophical anthropology becomes a question in periods of homelessnes when the meanings of man's world collapse and he is left in solitude.2 A disjunction between religious and scientific discourse signals this homelessness in our period. When men were escaping or forsaking home during the last century, they experienced freedom. Thus, homelessness did not mean solitude. The anthropological question is forced upon us w…

Inferential visibility and sex norms in the middle east
Few quantitative studies of sexual behavior appeared prior to Kinsey, Pomeroy and Martin's Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948) and Kinsey, Pomeroy, Martin and Gebhard's Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (1953). Sociologists and anthropologists were pleased that Kinsey, a zoologist, related variables such as age, marital status, education, occupation, rural-urban and religious background to sexual behavior. Some were disappointed, however, …
