RECEPTION AND TRANSFORMATION OF GEOGRAPHICAL IDEAS OF THE FRENCH GEOGRAPHY SCHOOL IN JAPAN - The main characteristics of the geography of Vidal de La Blache and of his school of thought were known in Japan until the early days of the 1940's, especially through the efforts made by a professor of the University of Tokyo, Koji Iizuka. French geography was considered in Japan as representative of human geography in the world. It was used to counter Japanese geography, which was held to be environmentalistic and deterministic under the strong influence of German geography. After the Second World War, French geography offered an antithesis to fascist geography or to geopolitics during the movement of democratization in Japan, when geography was categorized as one of the disciplines of the social sciences. Two major elements played a role in the reconstruction of Japanese geography: the Vidalism tradition of French geography and the Marxist scientific environment. From the middle of the 1950's, Japanese geographers took an interest in the methodologies of French regional geography, for exemple the important notion of way of life. Paradoxically, they never wrote original regional monographs of Japan.

Just before the second world war, in a paper read to the British Association, Morris Ginsberg talked about the failure of social philosophy and the social sciences to work together in the universities ‘toward the rational ordering of society’. Some time after the war Alexander Macbeath complained to British sociologists of his own vain search for a social philosopher who could teach in a course on public administration. Then a few years later A. E. Teale told an inter-professional conference at Keele that people who teach and train teachers, those who train social workers of all kinds, were disappointed when philosophers professed themselves unable to help those who had to ‘equip students with the skill to change prevailing moral attitudes and standards’.

This article gathers arguments for why the social sciences should be based inevolutionary theory by showing the shortcomings of the current paradigm based on the study of physics. Two examples are used, the study of intelligence studies and geoeconomics. After a presentation of the geoeconomics literature and an explanation of what the organic view of the social sciences is, we follow the study of economics as it developed after the Second World War to see where it went wrong and why.

The industrial revolution in 1830 led to the urbanization resulting in creation of urban slums. More complex health problems ultimately steered the concept of public health. The social revolution during the Second World War emphasized that health could only be achieved through socioeconomic improvement. Progress in the field of social sciences rediscovered that man is a social being, not only a biological animal. Social services for the improvement of life conditions have been the major factors in reducing mortality, morbidity and improving the standard of life of an individual, family and society.

Naomi Mitchison (1897-1999) was an established novelist and political campaigner throughout her life. During the Second World War, she kept an extensive daily diary from her home on the Mull of Kintyre in Scotland which she sent in instalments to the London offices of the social research organisation, Mass Observation. Until the 1980s, this diary, together with 500 other diaries for the same period, remained largely unread. It was stored as part of the valuable Mass Observation Archive which was deposited at the University of Sussex in 1970. Between 1982 and 1984 it was edited for publication by Dorothy Sheridan, the Mass Observation archivist, in collaboration with Naomi Mitchison herself. It was first published as a book in 1985 by Gollancz as Among you taking notes: the wartime diary of Naomi Mitchison 1939-1945. This article is an account of the collaborative process of editing the original diary for publication and addresses questions of ownership, ethics and methodology raised by the process of editing life documents.

The question raised by the editorial committee of The Tocqueville Review, as we set about to determine the table of contents for a volume dated 2001, was how best to mark our entrance into the new century and millennium. We decided to attempt an assessment of the social sciences since the Second World War, and, as social scientists, to proceed by means of a questionnaire. It was a gamble. Would the hundred or so senior researchers respond to our two questions?
