Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Normal Life
We shall never find ourselves in that home of the ideal, of which Bernard Shaw writes so eloquently,* where we escape the tyranny of the flesh; where there are no social questions, no political questions, no religious questions - best Of all, perhaps, no sanitary questions; where we call our appearance beauty, our emotions love, our sentiments heroism, our aspirations virtue, just as we did on earth but where there are no hard facts to contradict us.

Excerpt from The Normal Life
The general theme of the series of lectures introduced by this course is Social Construction. I accept the faith which the phrase implies: the faith that we build the social structure; that it is not external or mechanical, but human, spiritual, influenced by our ideals, shaped by our actions. Pragmatist or meliorist, we who preach social construction must insist on the fruitfulness of human effort directed toward social betterment. We cannot be pessimists, wringing our hands because progress is impossible; nor yet optimists, with idle or mischievous hands because progress is inevitable. Our faith, rather, with that of William James, is that progress is possible, but not inevitable; that it is dependent upon our efforts. We are the architects and builders of our own well-being and that of our posterity.
