A recent German writer has said: ‘‘The future of stientine 
investigation, not merely in the realm of the social sciences but 
of all the sciences, will lead in an ascending degree to the i increas- 
ing recognition of the coherence of all scientific thought. 
separation into distinct disciplines will no longer have, as its | 
result, the isolation of the investigators, but a more gene 
more comprehensive investigation will arrive at the prin 
which are to be held in common, and thus will arouse the co1 
sciousness that science is a unity. 
The Meaning of Social Science outlines a plan of co-opera 
among the various types of specialists in social science. 
keynote is the proposition that the main business of social scie 
is to be the agent of all men in finding out the meaning of life 
including in particular the means by which men may most sure y 
progress toward the largest rcaatons of life.
