Summary: The book "The Science of Social Organisation" discusses the principles of social organization as embodied in The Laws of Manu. It was initially presented as lectures at a Theosophical Society convention in 1909 and later published in 1910. Despite some drawbacks, the book was well-received in India and internationally. The preface to the second edition highlights the interruptions caused by political events like the Congress truce and Gandhiji's imprisonment, which delayed the completion of the work. The text emphasizes the importance of ancient scriptures and their reinterpretation in the modern context, focusing on the psychological and philosophical aspects rather than the literal interpretation. It also addresses the main problems of modern society, including excessive specialization in professions and lack of focus on foundational studies like humanities and ethics. The author advocates for a balanced approach to education and social organization guided by principles of duty and morality as outlined in ancient texts like The Laws of Manu.
