Marx in “Who Shall Survive?” 05 – The birth of sociometry.
The next discussion involving Marx is in the section The Historic Role Sociometry on page 8. The section opens:
During the first quarter of the twentieth century there were several main directions of thought in development, each apparently unrelated and uncoordinated to the other.
These are the five Moreno refers to: Continue reading “Marx in “Who Shall Survive?” 05 – The birth of sociometry.”
Marx in “Who Shall Survive?” 04 – Unity of Humankind
The next mention of Marx is in the section called Social and Organic Unity of Mankind. I’m taking the thesis implied in this title as the first point for discussion. Then I address the section where Moreno references Marx about Christianity. The section opens with the famous lines:

It is the exact opposite what Margaret Thatcher said, isn’t it? That there’s no such thing as society.
