Beschreibung

<p>Josef Pieper's readers become accustomed to the clarity of thought and expression in his writing--in combination with the impression he gives of being profoundly in touch with fundamentals. His conceptual clarity emerges from his awareness of basic human experience.<br> This book began life in 1933 as a small book produced in a sociological research institute and was encumbered, not surprisingly, with unwieldy academic jargon. It took on a new life as a result of a challenging statement by Max Frisch, who, in 1976, stated that establishing peace in the world required the transformation of society into a community.<br> Amazed by the naivety of Frisch's claim, Pieper set about defining three types of social interaction and describing how they function. 1. The<i> community </i>is an intimate grouping based on mutual affirmation of its members what they share in common. The family is an example. 2.<i> Society </i>is the sphere we enter on leaving the intimate circle in which we live. Here, tact, etiquette and contract come into play for the protection of one another's privacy. 3. <i>Organization</i> is the sphere dominated by usefulness of the individual.<br> Pieper is particularly concerned about the cog in the wheel mentality of certain political regimes. The book is a characteristic example of the philosopher's concern with political reality.</p>
