Book Overview

On Society is a book written by the British journalist and social critic, Frederic Harrison, and first published in 1918. The book is a collection of essays and articles that Harrison wrote over the course of his career, which spanned from the late 19th century to the early 20th century.

Harrison was known for his progressive views and his belief in the importance of social reform. In On Society, he discusses many of the pressing issues of his time, such as the role of the state in regulating the economy, the need for greater equality and social justice, and the importance of education in creating a more enlightened and democratic society. One of the central themes of the book is the idea that society is constantly evolving and changing, and that it is the responsibility of individuals and institutions to adapt to these changes in order to create a better world. Harrison also emphasizes the importance of individual freedom and autonomy, arguing that a truly democratic society must allow for a wide range of opinions and beliefs.
