Ideals And Institutions: Their Parallel Development

By John Ernest Merrill

Book Overview

Ideals and Institutions: Their Parallel Development is a scholarly book written by John Ernest Merrill. The book explores the relationship between ideals and institutions and how they have developed in parallel throughout history. Merrill argues that ideals are the driving force behind the creation of institutions, and that institutions in turn shape and reinforce those ideals. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the development of democracy, the role of religion in society, and the evolution of economic systems. Merrill draws on a variety of historical examples to illustrate his points, from ancient Greece to modern-day America. He also discusses the challenges that arise when ideals and institutions come into conflict, and how societies have dealt with these conflicts throughout history. Overall, Ideals and Institutions is a thought-provoking and insightful book that provides a fresh perspective on the relationship between ideals and institutions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
