دانلود کتاب Making of Modern Society

THIS IS AN excellent book and a valuable source of reference. The
autobiographical introduction is particularly fascinating.” TOM BOTTOMORE, Professor of Sociology, University of Sussex.
Robert Nisbet’s most recent essays focus on the intellectual aspects of the making of modern society.
He specifically examines the ideas of progress and development, the ethic of equality, the nature of totalitarian mystique, and, finally, the requisites of a free society. Among the major philosophers and critics dealt with most prominently are Vico, Turgot and Marx in relation to the Western philosophy of progress, and Rousseau, Burke, Tocqueville, and Orwell on the battleground — of egalitarianism and power.
Professor Nisbet’s new book of essays is characterised by a reasoned and coherent structure of thought, one in which ideas of progress, equality, and power interweave.
