Abstract

In scholarly circles as in so many other aspects of social life, we need both stabilizers and exciters. On the one hand are those who try to give society a higher degree of organization and control. On the other are the experimenters, the innovators, the discoverers, the advocates and organizers of efforts at social change. When the former succeed too well, the resulting rigidity is socially stifling. When the latter find unusually great acceptance, chaos and even revolution can be our lot. Somehow we gain the most by finding ways to benefit from both.
