ABSTRACT

The fact that social reflexology resembles individual is completely natural. Naturally, the development of collective reflexes and manifestations of the collective personality follow the same path as the manifestations of separate personalities. This chapter outlines the main laws which the human society or collective, when studied objectively, is found to obey. It analyzes the law of evolution, the law of differentiation, and the law of selective integration as one body. The processes of differentiation and integration have until now been united in biology by authors such as Herbert Spencer under the law of evolution. The chapter examines these principles independently in order to arrive at a more detailed analysis of their phenomena. It also analyzes laws or dependences of phenomena from their primary source. All laws are in a certain correlation with each other, since the world itself is a coherent and harmonious unit, in which certain phenomena are related to, or more precisely flow out of others.
