“History is preoccupied with fundamental processes of change. If you are allergic to these processes, you abandon history and take cover in the social sciences. Today anthropology, sociology, etc, flourish. History is sick. But then our society too is sick” IfsTodaySocialProcessSickFundamentalsEtcOur SocietyAbandonSociologyAnthropologySocial ScienceAllergicProcess Of Change Author:Edward Hallett Carr
“Whatever I had read as a child about the saints had thrilled me. I could see the nobility of giving one's life for the sick, the maimed, the leper. But there was another question in my mind. Why was so much done in remedying the evil instead of avoiding it in the first place? Where were the saints to try to change the social order, not just to minister to the slaves, but to do away with slavery?” GivingTryingMindFirstsChildrenDoneOrderEvilSocialSickSlaverySlaveSaintMinistersAvoidingNobilitySocial OrderLeper Author:Dorothy Day
