236 The Intellectual Revolution 



will lead to an equally marvellous advance in the 

 social and spiritual life of mankind. If the path 

 of error in social philosophy has led to untold 

 misery and suffering for the human race, we may 

 expect that the path of truth will lead to a redeemed 

 human society and a sum of human happiness — 

 a life more abundant — such as "eye hath not 

 seen, ear hath not heard, neither hath entered into 

 the heart of man" in all the Golden Ages of the 

 past. 



In this great task of replacing error by truth 

 in the social philosophy of mankind we shall need 

 the aid of all the sciences of the humanities, — 

 sociology, economics, history, political science, 

 philosophy, and ethics. As sociology' approaches 

 more nearly to the standard of a real science, we 

 must look to it more and more for the annunciation 

 of great general principles which shall guide 

 social and political action. 



To economics we must look for an exposure of 

 the fallacies which underlie the belief in the antago- 

 nism and the economic rivalry of nations ; for the 

 spread of an understanding of the true facts of 

 international relations and of a practical realiza- 

 tion of the economic solidarity of the entire human 

 race. 



In the science of history we shall receive most 

 aid from the new school which is turning away 



' Besides the epoch-making works of Novikov, those of Muller- 

 Lyer, in Germany, and of Professor Giddings, in America, are 

 among the most valuable contributions in modern sociology.
