Summary

Julian Huxley: What Dare I Think?

The Challenge of Modern Science to Human Action and Belief

The aim of this book is to present a new approach to social ontology. As with all other ontological researches, here too it is a question of what kinds of entities we can justifiably claim to exist. This book will take an ontological position traditionally labeled "realist": a position usually defined as a commitment to the view that reality exists independently of the mind. However, when it comes to social ontology, this definition has to be relaxed a bit because most social entities, from small communities to large nation-states, would disappear altogether if the human mind ceased to exist. In this sense, it is clear that social entities are not mind-independent. Accordingly, a realist approach to social ontology must assert the autonomy of social entities based on our understanding of those entities. If it is said that social entities have a reality that does not depend on concepts, this simply represents a confirmation that the theories, models and classifications we use to study them can be objectively wrong, that is, a confirmation that they cannot encompass the real past and internal dynamics of these entities. There are, of course, important studies in which precisely these models and classifications used by sociologists influence the behavior of the entities being studied. For example, socio-political or medical classifications in which categories such as "refugee woman" or "hyperactive child" are used can affect people who are so classified, if these people become aware of the fact that they are designated in such a way...
