Offering a deep look at the ethical uncertainty within the modern social sciences and American society, this e-book explores an in-depth answer. This resolution, as articulated via Pitirim A. Sorokin within the twentieth century, is the speculation of Integralism; a standpoint relationship again to Plato, Aristotle and Aquinas. Sorokin before everything utilized Integralism through finding and examining 3 dominant tremendous socio-cultural platforms over 2500 years of Graeco-Roman and Western heritage. every one large process was once unified through a important philosophical precept dependent both on materialism (the senses), or the rational, or the supersensory/super-rational. an excellent process declines whilst it reaches the bounds of its power to accomplish its real fact and cost, to get replaced by means of one other tremendous procedure. Sorokin defined a trendless rotation of the 3 tremendous socio-cultural platforms.

The present dominant great socio-cultural procedure within the West is a materialist model emphasizing technological know-how and know-how with little concept given to supersensory/super-rational truth. Sorokin asserted modern materialist tradition used to be in a nation of cave in as a result of the breakup of its ethical values. hence he observed a fight for strength taking place among egoistic participants and teams usually leading to revolutions, wars and inter-human strife. in accordance with the single sided materialist view of truth the target of Integralism is to unify all 3 types of fact into an fundamental tradition that harmoniously balances materialist and supersensory/super-rational orientations.

The supra-conscious is the resource for achieving the ideally suited ethical worth; inventive unselfish altruism which are shared by way of all cultures to supply peace and concord within the world.
