Human Traits and their Social Significance
Irwin Edman, a young instructor in philosophy at Columbia University, wrote Human Traits and their Social Significance as a textbook for an introductory course on contemporary civilization. The first part examines the raw material of human nature: instincts, habits, emotions, intelligence and the influence of society on the individual. The second shows how these traits are shaped and expressed in the great institutions of social life, religion, art, science, morality and education. He writes with a clarity that later made him a popular essayist. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
