| Summary, etc. |
While I have been turning over the human situation in my mind for more than forty years, I only began work on the study of it seriously in 1971. True, when I was in the army in 1942, I tried to do the thing out of my head in about twenty thousand words-but that was preposterous. And after that war, I spent nearly two years trying to do it systematically out of a set of the 1910 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica; that, too, was preposterous. But I used up two reams of paper in successive drafts of outlines. I wound up my outlining with a concern for the setting of the human situation in history-in cosmological, paleontological, archeological, as well as historical history. I went back to UCLA to work on a Ph.D. in history, on comparative method and on the rise of civilization. The Outline of Anthropology by Jacobs and Stern sent me to Hobhouse, Wheeler, and Ginsburg's classic worldwide comparative study of cultural evolution among small-scale societies. Ralph Beals told me about George Peter Murdock, and so I began my lifelong concern with holocultural studies-comparisons of small-scale societies. Meanwhile, my history teachers got me into classical source criticism, and that was to lead me later to data quality control. I also learned a lesson from my doctoral thesis. Not from anything I discovered about the human situation there, but from what I was taught by the dead. My problem as a graduate student needing a Ph.D. degree was to bring my unconventional interests in broad-scale comparative history to terms that would make sense to my understanding, tolerant, and helpful but conventionally specialized history teachers. To that end, I chose to study the Federal Convention of 1787-the authors of the U. S. Constitution. The debates there ranged far over the comparative history of Western civilization and its classical Mediterranean ancestor. I began by viewing the work of that convention as an essay in political theory—an attempt at a general solution to the problem of federal government. Following the thinking of Carl Van Doren in The Great Rehearsal, I wanted to learn from these men how we could design a proper constitution for a world federation. But the message that came through from delegate after delegate all that hot summer of 1787 was clear: Never mind theory; never mind Locke and Montesquieu. We have all read them. Now forget them. Our job is to write a constitution that will suit our own people. One that they will come to love. |
