WARD, LESTER F.

Applied Sociology: A Treatise on the Conscious Improvement of Society By Society

Boston, Ginn and Company. 1906, First Edition. Cloth, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. (1841-1913) One of the pioneers of American sociology, founder of a psychological evolutionism, which (contrary to Herbert Spencer) ascribed an important role in evolution to human mentality. Self-educated from boyhood, Ward enlisted in the Union Army in 1863, and finally gained his university degrees through evening study. He was a geologist and palaeontologist until the age of 65 when he accepted a professorship in sociology at Brown University (where he continued to teach until his death). In 1906 he was elected to be the first president of the American Sociological Society. Greatly influenced by Comte and Spencer, Ward's sociology is organized around a theory of evolution. This process is described in terms of stages, these being the result initially of ‘genesis’ (spontaneous blind forces), but latterly of ‘telesis’ (purposive actions of humans based on knowledge and the anticipation of consequences). Ward conceptualized sociology as the systematic study of social forces, these being psychic in nature, and resulting in a continuous process of ‘social synergy’ by which new structures were created. He is significant mainly because his works, particularly his discussion of telesis, anticipate the emphasis that twentieth-century sociology was to place on culture (see Dynamic Sociology, 1902; Pure Sociology, 1903; and Applied Sociology, 1906). There is a useful introduction to his writings in Ronald Fletcher, The Making of Sociology, volume i (1971). Good/No Jacket.

WARD, LESTER FRANK,

Dynamic Sociology or Applied Social Science. As based upon Statical Sociology and the less complex Sciences.

New York, Appleton, 1883. 2 Bde. 8vo. XL, 706; VII, 690 S. Originale Verlagsleinenbände.
¶ Erste Ausgabe. - Lester Frank Ward (1841-1913) kam über die Biologie zur Soziologie. Er studierte zunächst Biologie und arbeitete von 1881 bis 1906 für den U.S. Geological Survey. Erst nach seiner Bekanntschaft mit den Werken Spencers und Comtes wandte er sich der Soziolgie zu. Seine soziologischen Werke, die zwischen 1883 und 1903 erschienen, begründeten seinen Ruhm. 1906 wurde er, bereits 65jährig, Professor für Soziologie an der Brown Universität, wo er bis zu seinem Lebensende lehrte. Er war 1906-1908 erster Präsident der American Sociological Society. Wards Soziologie erwächst vor allem aus seiner Auseinandersetzung mit den Werken Spencers. Er folgt der Evolutionsphilosophie Spencers, kommt aber zu anderen Schlussfolgerungen. Seine Soziologie ähnelt der Albion Smalls. Auch bei Ward sind die Interessen und Bedürfnisse die antreibenden Faktoren sozialer Entwicklung. Aber für Ward gibt der Intellekt der Entwicklung Richtung und Sinn. Entwicklung ist für Ward keine sich gleichgültig vollziehende Veränderung, sondern wird sozialpolitisch mitgestaltet. Die Soziologie untersuche als „Reine Soziologie“die Entwicklung der sozialen Phänomene, als „Angewandte Soziologie“ frage sie nach den geeigneten Mitteln, um sozialpolitisch definierte Ziele zu erreichen. Für Ward ist die Soziologie als Wissenschaft ein Resultat des sozialen Fortschritts im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert, gleichzeitig aber stehe sie wiederum im Dienste des sozialen Fortschritts und gebe der weiteren Entwicklung Richtung und Sinn. „Reine Soziologie“ und „Angewandte Soziologie“ seien zwei Seiten einer „Dynamischen Soziologie“. Die vermeindliche Bewahrung eines „natürlichen“ Selektionsmechanismus und die sich daraus ergebende Ablehnung „kontraselektorischer“ sozialpolitischer Massnahmen wird von Ward als Immunisierungsstrategie in der politischen Auseinandersetzung entlarvt. Ein laissez-faire-Kapitalismus möglichst ohne Regelungen soll so bewahrt werden. Stattdessen dominieren nach Ward in menschlichen Gesellschaften „künstliche“ Selektionsmechanismen. Es werden Zielsetzungen in Interessenskonflikten durchgesetzt oder ausgehandelt, deren Zustandekommen eine „Reine Soziologie“ analysiert, zu deren Erreichung eine „Angewandte Soziologie“ ihren Beitrag leisten kann. Sumners Diktum, wonach es ein absurdes Unternehmen sei, einen „natürlich“ sich vollziehenden sozialen Prozess im Namen der Vernunft verbessern zu wollen, wird von Ward entschieden zurückgewiesen. Ward, selbst Biologe, der erst über Spencer zur Soziologie gelangte, überwindet letztlich den Biologismus in den Sozialwissenschaften und gelangt zu einer amerikanischen kritischen Soziologie.
