"Professor Boodin's work, The Social Mind, is in my opinion a philosophical masterpiece second to none in contemporary American literature. Product of lifetime of sustained reflection by one of our greatest living philosophers. The Social Mind represents an original and brilliant synthesis. Written in a style which is lucid and colorful, The Social Mind will prove a source of insight and inspiration to philosophers and sociologists alike. Professor Boodin has written a work of classic stature which takes its place beside Royce's Problem of Christianity as one of the greatest contributions to the epic of what may be called sociological idealism, concretizing the doctrine and carrying it forward to heights hitherto unattained by any American writer"--Jacket.
