Behavior depends on the image--the sum of what we think we know and what makes us act the way we do. The image lies behind the actions of every individual. It accounts for the growth of every cause. To recognize the image is to begin to understand the scientist, the believer, the crusader, the soldier. To know its shape is the key to psychoanalysis, public opinion polling, and social psychology. Professor Kenneth Boulding, eminent economist and author of Organizational Revolution, illuminates with the image of all modern knowledge: biology, psychology, sociology, political science, economics, and history. And he proposes a new science, eiconics, to restructure all that is presently known about man.
Kenneth E. Boulding is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He is a well-known author and past president of several organizations, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Economic Association. Lawrence Senesh, Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Colorado, Boulder, is copresident and founding member (with Kenneth Boulding) of the Academy of Independent Scholars. He is also one of the founders of the Social Science Education Consortium. The academy was established in 1979 to provide a creative environment for retired scholars and for those whose independent scholarship does not fit the conventional niches of their institutions.
