This thought-provoking sociological study by Eric and Mary Josephson delves into the alienation and isolation experienced by individuals in modern society. Published in 1962, it captures the zeitgeist of the post-war era, when rapid industrialization and urbanization were reshaping human experiences. The Josephsons draw upon philosophical frameworks, psychological theories, and sociological research to analyze the impact of these sweeping changes on interpersonal relationships, community bonds, and individual well-being. This copy, a 1966 printing, bears the signs of careful reading and contemplation, with its well-worn cover and creased spine. For collectors, it offers a window into the intellectual discourse of the time, while readers will find a timeless exploration of the human condition in an increasingly impersonal world.
