ABSTRACT
A new organon of statistical methods has emerged, to some extent by our own efforts, that is bound to mean as much to us as it does to all the sciences, such as biology or experimental psychology, the phenomena of which are given in terms of frequency distributions. Science is technique and the more it develops, the more completely does it pass out of the range of comprehension not only of the public but, minus his own chosen specialty, of the research worker himself. The word ideologie was current in France toward the end of the 18th and in the first decade of the 19th century and meant much the same thing as did the Scottish moral philosophy of the same and an earlier time or as our own social science in that widest acceptance of the term in which it includes psychology. Karl Marx was the economist who discovered ideology for us and who understood its nature.
