First published in 1959, The Objective Society elaborates that any
objective society has two functions: to transmit a cultural
heritage through education, and to think for that great majority of
men who have no access to the stores of information upon which
thought must feed if it is to live. However, it has long ceased to
do either of these things. The masses of the people are indifferent
to culture as it is understood in the universities, and academics
do not think - they gather and catalogue facts. Any attempt to use
the facts to some practical end or, more generally, to organize
them into an ideology which might restore to our civilisation a
purpose and a direction is considered an offence to objectivity.
This book indicates the path that must be taken to avoid complete
cultural stagnation. Explicating on themes resonant with the
current socio-political climate, this book will be an interesting
read for students of philosophy and literature.
