- More about The Objective Society
The Objective Society, published in 1959, outlines the two functions of an objective society: to transmit a cultural heritage and to think for the majority of men who have no access to information. However, it has ceased to do either of these things, and academics do not think, but gather and catalogue facts. This book suggests the path to avoid complete cultural stagnation and will be an interesting read for students of philosophy and literature.

Published in 1959, The Objective Society delves into the dual functions of an objective society. Primarily, it aims to transmit a cultural heritage through education, catering to the majority of individuals who lack access to the vast stores of information necessary for thought. Regrettably, however, it has long since ceased to fulfill either of these roles. The masses, disconnected from the cultural understanding prevalent in universities, show little interest in culture. Academics, on the other hand, focus solely on gathering and cataloging facts, devoid of the critical thinking required for meaningful thought. Any attempt to utilize facts for practical purposes or to organize them into an ideology that could restore purpose and direction to civilization is deemed an offense against objectivity.
This book serves as a guide to prevent complete cultural stagnation. It explores themes that resonate with the current socio-political climate, making it an intriguing read for students of philosophy and literature. By examining the decline of the objective society and proposing a path forward, this book offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing our society today.
