THE SEMINAL MIND OF J. L. MORENO AND HIS INFLUENCE UPON THE PRESENT GENERATION

Abstract

In the social sciences, more than in any other branch of the humanities, it is particularly difficult to assess, as a contemporary, the sources of inspiration and the channels they have travelled on their way to becoming absorbed by the culture. Indeed, history itself is written from a subjective and biased point of view and one of the most persistent problems, even in elementary education, is the frame of reference which determines it. Thus, religion, for instance, may at times "bend" the truth as seen by the scientist, if not to force outright distortion of fact. Thus no one, not even the scientist is above suspicion in staking claims or pointing out sources.
