- W308580746 abstract "The Just Meritocracy: IQ, Class Mobility, and American Social Policy Paul Kamolnick Praeger, 2005 This textbook, which is intended for use required ancillary reading in graduate and advanced courses in sociology and anthropology, brings with it hope that social scientists may at long last begin to abandon tradition of Franz Boas, Margaret Mead, et al. It is an indication that notwithstanding any political commitments they may have social scientists may at last ready to face up to biological realities that shape human beings, and to way society is shaped by these same biological limitations and proclivities. Paul Kamolnick, its author, is an associate professor at East Tennessee State University. This does not mean to say that Kalmonick rejects all efforts to change society arid improve human condition. He acknowledges that an undergraduate he embraced university-induced Marxian orthodoxy. Currently, he walks an academically cautious but highly significant line, warning his fellow social scientists that however much they wish to reshape society in accordance with their own dreams, they must take into consideration biological realities that shape capabilities and behavior of men and women, and potential form of society. Serious scholarship, a devotion to knowledge, and an intelligent, questioning mind, were clear prerequisites for his ability to break from bonds of ideology. Like others, Kamolnick came to respect Max Weber perhaps greatest comparativist sociology will ever claim, and to learn to discriminate between what one believes ought to be and what is real, what simply is. Inspired by his own investigations into moral legacy of ancient Greek culture, into Anglo-centered conservative empiricism, and into sacred literature of Christianity, Judaism and Islam, Kamolnick came to ask how all this measured up against human animal shaped by, and the beneficiary of, 3.8 billion years of natural history. What followed, in his own words, was this book - an attempt to make as practicable and realistic possible contemporary policy-relevance of modern scientific findings and humanistic ethical goals. The author has studied work of major researchers into biology of intelligence, heritability of intelligence, and correlation that exists between IQ and life achievement. Included in text, which is amply supported by figures and tables, are references to work of names well known to most readers of this journal, among them, Burt, Cattell, Darwin, Gallon, Gottfredson, Haldane, Jensen, Bouchard, McGue, Lykken, Nyborg, Plomin, Scarr, Termin and Wexler. To a large extent, Kamolnick is resuscitating Herrnstein and Murray's epic work, The Bell Curve, which was said by some of its critics to have been based largely on work of researchers who had published in The Mankind Quarterly. …" @default.
