Interest in the impact of ethical systems and social or religious
ideologies on socio-behavioral patterns is a longstanding theme in
social science research. While interest may have begun with Max
Weber and his thesis of the relationship between the Protestant
ethic and the spirit of capitalism, it extends far beyond this.
Surprisingly, few studies have delved into the socio-behavioral
patterns emanating from Jewish ethics. This book, with a new
introduction by the author, fills that gap.As Hasidic Psychology
makes clear, Jewish ethics are unique in many ways, especially in
that they are essentially other-centered. Man's ability to affect
his own future and interpersonal relations are explained according
to the theory of contraction, popularized in Hasidic thought: God,
by contracting Himself to evacuate space for the human world,
bestowed upon man the power and responsibility to determine his own
future, and even affect God's disposition.In the first part of the
book, the sociological-structural concept of mono versus multiple
ideal labeling is introduced. This concept refers to a social
system in which diverse material and spiritual actualization
patterns are structurally introduced as equal social ideals. In the
second part, basic tenets of classic interaction and socialization
are compared to the interpersonal perspective, and the contraction
theory is explained as a process of "mutual emulation," whereby
father and son affect each other. In the third part, a functional
approach to deviance is developed through the Hasidic process known
as "ascend via descend."
