✦ Synopsis
Every modern society is bimodal, composed of two communities. These differ in such ways as sacred and secular, personal and impersonal, familial and political, static and changing, security and liberty as major values, customary and legal, communal morality and individual ethics, and unity and separation of society and state. Illustrations of these and other differences are given-a corporation disguised as a p r s m , .mo!als and ethics in their "pro er" places, two loci of evil in men an in institutions, Nature as an object ofenjoyment and as a thing to be exploited, and beaut as simply there and as somethin to be analyzed. If the bifurcations of molern society are to be mended, tfeir origins must first be known and understood for what they portend for the integrity of the family and the neighborhood. A society is an organic structure and must be understood as such. Ad hoc remedies are futile.
