Compulsory Unionism
The Ethos Problem in the Present Pluralistic Society
they are to be inviolable, presuppose the communitarian virtues of solidarity and truthfulness. The pacta sunt servanda ? the basis of societal forms ? cannot infer from a prior contract that contracts must be kept; this would imply a regressus infinitus. Hence, if and when the basic community spirit and forms wither, the societal forms, too, will lose their vitality. Thirdly, human society exists in contingency; consequently it is sub? ject to c…
Sociological Aspects of Union-Management Co-Operation
Traditionally, unionism recognized a sphere of activities and re? sponsibilities outside of its particular range and responsibilities, a sphere called Management. Let us reflect a moment why this was so. 1. Traditional unionism operates the basis of the existing order. This existing order is (or shall we say, was?) private property in the means of production and free enter? prise exercised by an entrepreneurial class. The unions operat? ing on th…
Cartels
To European economists, cartels are old acquaintances. Beyond the Atlantic, they have been under discussion since Kleinwaechter, in 1883, made them the object of the first analysis. It was about the time when, in this country, monopolies and trusts were much debated. As early as Europe waxed cartel-conscious, this country became monopoly and trust-conscious. Not that American scholars were unaware of the cartels—no less than Europeans were unawar…
The Roots of Totalism
The Dualism of German Culture
The Crisis of Our Age
Almost exactly a century after August Comte inaugurated modern sociology under the flag of positivism, of progress and of mankind marching toward an era of glorious self-revelation, another sociologist directs the heavy artillery of a sweeping criticism just at that positivism and faith in progress, and at those achievements of mankind which Comte anticipated as the results of man's being himself and nothing but himself. P. A. Sorokin, an outstan…
The German Enigma
No country within the Western orbit offers to foreign thinkers such an ambiguous and enigmatic aspect as does Germany. There is no end of books and articles wrestling with this problem. German history presents sufficient justification for the existence of an enigmatic dualism within the nation. To begin with: Germany is that country in Europe through which a line of profound cultural demarcation runs. The Limes Germanicus (cf. my articles in this…
Mass Age In Agony
The philosophy of the Enlightenment and the rise of capitalistic industrialism ushered in the age of the masses. The one represents a social philosophy which undermined the traditional relations between state and society, and in addition, the well-established forms of precapitalistic society; the other brought in the machine and large-scale enterprises both leading to the formation of masses in our modern society. A sort of a natural process seem…
The Economic Philosophy of Romanticism
Prelude To Democracy—Part Two
Communitarian forms of life are the basic forms in which a people lives. Only in them does man realize to the fullest his being a person—in fact it is only in communitarian forms that he grows to the status of a person. Man's fundamental mode of being is comunio , namely of persons. Such comunio materializes in family life, in friendship, in neighborhood, in religious life, in certain forms of vocational collaboration. Beside these fundamental fo…
Prelude to Democracy
ALL human society so far as it is Unitas ordinis answers the same requirements, namely to constitute unity out of plurality under a (formal or unformal) leadership. Wherever one of these criteria is absent, only an aggregation of individuals may ensue; never society. All human society, therefore, has a constitution whether written or not. This constitution determines who belongs to the society in question, how far its competence reaches, to what …
The Industrial Worker
The Rise and Fall of the Proletarian Utopias
Proudhon once remarked—and Cortéz eagerly took up the idea—that in the Western world all great intellectual and moral issues derive, fundamentally, from theological sources. In the past, and even today, Western thought has received and is receiving a tremendous impetus from the secularization of religious and theological doctrines. The Christian doctrines of salvation, of the kingdom of God, of the visio beatifica in a Paradise of happiness and p…
Limes Germanicus—Bridge and Frontier
THE PENDULUM of dynamic subjectivism swings from a faithful, dreamy, or thoughtful absorption in the world to an aggressive, defiant protest against the world. German history proves it abundantly from the days of the Cimbers and Teutons to the days of the Reformation and up to our present age. Or is it a mere accident that German thinkers formulated that man is obsessed by the will to the infinite, or, as Nietzsche put it: “that man could not tol…
