Pareto attempts the construction of a system of sociology on the model of celestial mechanics. The correspondence theory of knowledge is explicity adopted. The exact definition of terms is unsuccessfully attempted. The greater part of the discussion is taken up with examples of rationalization and of motives for conduct which are assumed to manifest sentiments or instincts. There is some resemblance to McDougall's theory of instincts but this concept is used uncritically. The main argument is based on an inadequate psychology and disregards the essential sociological data. An attempt is made to explain history by assuming differential heredity in social classes. The book formulates the implicit philosophy of Italian Fascism, advocating the right of the strong to take what they want without apology or appeal to moral principles. The book has no value as sociology but constitutes an interesting and serviceable document for the student of a personality
