"The Mind in the Making: The Relation of Intelligence to Social Reform" by James Harvey Robinson is an essay on the interplay between human intelligence and social reform, written during the early 20th century. The work aims to explore how a transformation in human thinking can alleviate societal evils, advocating for a new understanding that transcends historical prejudices and misconceptions. Robinson posits that intelligence, if untethered from traditional constraints, holds the key to addressing the rampant issues of his time. The opening of the essay sets the stage for a deep examination of the deficiencies in contemporary thought processes and the historical contexts that shape them. Robinson argues that many of society's pressing problems—such as war, social injustice, and economic disparity—stem not solely from external conditions but from entrenched mental frameworks and beliefs that have persisted despite advancements in natural sciences. He emphasizes the necessity of creating a critical and open-minded approach to understanding human relations and societal structures, urging readers to interrogate the roots of their beliefs and embrace a more scientific and rational mindset as a means to enact meaningful social reform.
