TY - JOUR PY - 1916// TI - A world consciousness and future peace JO - Journal of abnormal psychology (1906) A1 - Prince, Morton SP - 287 EP - 304 VL - 11 IS - 5 N2 - Discusses the role of psychology in the development of world consciousness in international relations. For this purpose, an analysis of individual and collective consciousness has been attempted. The subconscious is viewed as the dynamic source of conduct, which helps evolve personality. The collective consciousness, is viewed as the foundation of the social organization whose common ideal is to respect and protect the rights of individuals and regulate their relations to one another within the nation. Different types of collective consciousness, as well as its development have been outlined. World consciousness is the desire, grown into habits and customs, to respect the rights of foreign people under international law, which in turn would be the expression of world ideals and desires. With the development of world consciousness, war, and other such international calamities could be avoided. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
