Excerpt from Individualism: Four Lectures on the Significance of Conciousness for Social Relations
It is part of my individualism to hold that one may be both warmly appreciative and independently critical. The criticism is embodied in the text; the appreciation, not less sincere, I wish to record here.
To state a clear difference of opinion is less embarrassing, however, than to define one"s relations to those standing for a somewhat similar view. So far as I am aware no one has appropriated my special brand of individualism nor made quite the same use of the conception of consciousness. But it would be unjust not to recall Professor L. F. Ward"s "Psychic Factors of Civilization" or, in a work on the significance of consciousness for social relations, to ignore Professor C. H. Cooley"s "Human Nature and the Social Order" and "Social Organization." The last of these reached me too late, unfortunately, to claim the author"s support, or partial support, for the conception of social consciousness developed in the text.
My thanks are due to my friends and colleagues, Professor C. J. Sembower and Professor Frank Aydelotte, who have very kindly read the manuscript and helped me out of a number of obscurities.
