S. reader who opens The Mind and Society finds himself in a thicket of abstract statements and scholarly quotations, quickly discovers that Pareto's first purpose is to establish a strict political realism, to make sociology a pure science, comparable to astronomy or mathematics. Says the Italian professor: "We are in no sense intending ... to exalt logic and experience to a greater power and majesty than dogmas accepted by sentiment. Our aim is to distinguish, not to compare...
