A near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from a name written on top edge) with VG dustjacket which has a little edge wear. 213 pages. In this age of the 'organization' man, thoughtful people may become discouraged as to the opportunity for individualism in our society. Professor Miller's study indicates cause for intelligent, logically based hope that the individualist has a bright future in democratic societies. Miller repudiates the mechanistic account of the human personality. He denies that the individual has no control over the forces operating on him and no power to direct his own destiny, and he explains that the uncritical acceptance of scientific methodology by social scientists has resulted in a one-sided view of the individual in society.
