| Summary: | "Discusses philosophy, social science, economics, ethics, ethical idealism, and religion in relation to the Social Question. The author argues that, heading into the 20th Century, the most conspicuous and disturbing fact of contemporary life is its social unrest. No institution of society--the family, the state, or the church--is so fixed in stability or in sanctity as to be safe from radical transformation. The growth of great industry, with its combinations of capital and its organizations of labor, the unprecedented accumulation of wealth in the hands of the few, and the equally unprecedented increase of power in the hands of the many, these point to new social adjustments and awaken a new social spirit. It is the age of the Social Question. Those who have embarked on enterprises of social service and social reformation feel beneath their ventures the sustaining movement of the main current of the time"--Chapter.
