What it is about
A variant of the same late argument: what the individual owes society and does not owe the State.
Context and history
It overlaps heavily with The Individual, Society and the State, and reading them together is the right way: two versions of Goldman's final thought. This is a short article, not a book: its size in the catalogue is no defect of the copy. Much of Goldman's work took this form, in her magazine Mother Earth and in pamphlets.
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.
This profound work will revolutionize the intellectual world of thought by showing that the heretofore accepted notions as to the underlying causes of Social Phenomena are only partially true and therefore, inadequate to explain how social changes are affected. Many great thinkers have sought to formulate a “Philosophy of History” which would enable us to analyze and explain, as well as predict social and historical events. Buckle, Hegel, Marx and Spengler are just a few among the great thinkers who have contributed to this great task, but Rocker with his profound understanding and in his illuminating style shows why the “Hegelian Dialectics”, “Marx’s Economic Determinism” and “The Spenglerian Philosophy of Destiny” have failed. In this veritable encyclopedia of knowledge, we see before us, in a living procession, the great cultures of all ages. The thoughts and ideals of the Ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks and Romans become accessible to us with the same clarity and understanding as the thoughts and ideals of our contemporaries. No intelligent person regardless of his school of thought, can afford to miss reading this great work. “Nationalism and Its Relation to Culture” will be published in two volumes and sold at $7.50 for both volumes.
