There are five parts of this paper: (1) Introduction. Here I focus on my overarching goal of moving toward fulfilling Auguste Comte’s goal of a paradigmatic sociological approach to solving personal and world problems. I introduce the work of Jonathan Turner, Thomas Kuhn, C. Wright Mills and Alvin W. Gouldner to illustrate the importance of an orientation that yields a contrast between a bureaucratic and an interactive and evolutionary way of life. (2) Turner’s Law of Positive Emotional Energy. It is here that we learn to “accentuate the positive,” as the song goes, by making use of two powerful procedures for personal development: EVOLUTIONARY PERCEPTION and the EAST-WEST STRATEGY. These yield increasing self-confidence, resulting in an improving self-image, pointing the individual in an evolutionary direction. Central to this approach is the idea that the further development of the individual is the basis for the continued evolution of society. (3) Turner’s Law of Negative Emotional Energy. We learn here to “eliminate the negative” and find personal satisfaction in doing so. We must take into account the immense power of our bureaucratic way of life in influencing us negatively—with its focus on hierarchy, narrow specialization and personal conformity—from the very moment of our birth. Yet once again the processes of EVOLUTIONARY PERCEPTION and the EAST-WEST STRATEGY can come to our rescue. We must realize that those procedures must become habitual if they are to be effective against the full power of our present way of life. Equally, we must understand that paradigmatic sociologists must realize that their own extraordinarily important role is to demonstrate the power of these ideas in their own personal behavior. (4) An Image of the Future. I follow the mantra of Confucius: “It is man that makes the Way great, and not the Way that makes man great.” Lawrence Busch and Fred Polak developed an image that includes the continuing evolution of ever more individuals throughout society with respect to “head,” “heart” and “hand.” Far beyond the solution of society’s solution of its mammoth problems, we might anticipate future developments beyond our wildest dreams. (5) Resume. It is essential to establish my credibility for this far-reaching paper and, as well, to present the range of my academic experiences that enabled me to emerge with throughout my academic lifetime to emerge with these ideas.
