In Project for a Scientific Sociology, Joan Casser provides an operational overview of inter-individual behavior. He observes – following the research of James Clerk Maxwell – that society is a material configuration. Casser commences with worked matter and ends with the state in this causal configuration of social behavior.

Cessante causa, cessat effectus (when the cause ceases, the effect ceases) is applicable for every existing type of social pathology. In Project for a Scientific Sociology, Joan Casser provides an operational overview of inter-individual behavior. He develops the research of Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, Russian neurologist Ivan Pavlov, Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler, et al., as a means to examine energy transference in society. Prediction, motion, operant conditioning, crime, punishment, security, and law-governed behavior are reviewed socio-logically. Casser commences with worked matter and ends with the state in this causal configuration of inter-individual behavior.

Joan Casser, Ph.D., studies inter-individual behavior to cognize how stimulus-response activity is enculturated. He received a doctorate for research on interpellation from the University of Waikato, New Zealand (2020). He is the author of Structures of Language: Notes Towards a Systematic Investigation (Brill, 2022).
