Topic: Great Transformation


  
 [No title]
Especially worthy of note is it that the great work of Descartes, erroneous as many of its deductions were, and, in view of the lack of physical knowledge in his time, must be, had done much to weaken the old conception.
That to which the great sacred books of the world conform, and our own most of all, is the evolution of the highest conceptions, beliefs, and aspirations of our race from its childhood through the great turning-points in its history.
The early Christian thinkers gave little attention to it, and that little was devoted to transforming it into something absolutely opposed to his whole spirit and method; in place of it they developed the _Physiologus_ and the Bestiaries, mingling scriptural statements, legends of the saints, and fanciful inventions with pious intent and childlike simplicity.

 Denmark - History - The Great Transformation
Danish society underwent a complete transformation between 1864 and 1901; signs of what was to come had already been seen prior to this period but now the changes began to affect everyone.
The society based on rank was abolished in 1849 and the old distinctions between the estates were transformed into a new social stratification based on property and income.
The peasant society gradually became divided into farmers, smallholders and day labourers; in the towns, employer/employee relations were introduced, and society's growing need for services led to the appearance of a stratum of salaried workers and new groups of independent businessmen.

 The Great Transformation
But he didn't suggest any name except banal title of 'The Great Transformation' which is barely used in his book and does barely play the explanatory role in the analysis contrary to his forerunners systemic edifice, for example, Marx's 'capital' or Weber's 'rationalization'.
His world located between 2 Great Wars one of which he participated in as army officer of the Habsburg Empire and another is the time when he wrote his influential work, 'The Great Transformation' (1944).

 Statement on the adaptation of the Great Invocation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
The Great Invocation was always intended by the Tibetan, Djwhal Khul, to be given mass distribution and to become a world prayer.
Many co-workers have worked with the Great Invocation and helped to distribute it, and we want to assure these co-workers that we have never believed any useful purpose is served in the attempt to pander to fluctuating tastes or prejudices to avoid causing offense.
There have always been objections to the wording of the Great Invocation, which is probably understandable given its great potency as a mantram; however, two words in particular—"men" and "Christ"—have evoked greater misunderstanding than the rest.

 Rise of Evangelicalism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
Transformations in American economics, politics and intellectual culture found their parallel in a transformation of American religion in the decades following independence, as the United States underwent a widespread flowering of religious sentiment and unprecedented expansion of church membership known as the Second Great Awakening.
Hatch's revisionary look at the Second Great Awakening as a fundamentally centrifugal event has provided the field of American religious history with a useful lens through which to view the period, but he gives short shrift to the ways in which the Awakening entailed myriad forms of centripetal cohesion on the local level.
It was in the transformation of Calvinist theology that the Second Great Awakening had the most profound impact on individuals and on American religious culture.

 The Great Transformation Review -- Book-Reviews.info
Polanyi's The Great Transformation is truly a masterpiece of historical analysis and social theory.
Polanyi deftly uses his extensive knowledge of economic history, anthropology, and political theory to demonstrate the failure of "market society" and the myopia of those who believe that the "free" market is the answer to all social ills.
The Great Transformation is an exceptionally lucid and well-researched study that should be required reading for anyone interested in economics, social theory, political history, or international relations.
