Everything is constantly changing and Robert Carkhuff, author of The Human Sciences, believes changeability is the engine of possibilities.

Dr. Carkhuff, one of the most-referenced scientists of the 20th century, is recognised as the father of human sciences. He has been credited with breakthroughs in our understanding of human relating, information representing and human and information generativity.

In The Human Sciences, he details the accelerated movement of science from the slow, evolutionary changes of Probabilities Science through the freeing of Possibilities Science to Generativity Science. This is a powerful resource for business professionals and educators who week to improve themselves and their organisations.

Here’s a preview:

Part I offers an introduction to scientific models. The chapter on the human and information technologies considers the economic implications of technological innovation, the IT Innovative Solution which has dominated the economic marketplace for 50 years and the HT Generativity Solution which has made successful applications and transfers over the past 50 years. In the chapter on the human and information sciences, you’ll learn about information modeling and human processing and how they relate synergistically.

In Part II, Dr. Carkhuff describes the science of probabilities - the thinking that dominates science - and how it no longer works by itself. You’ll learn how the changing conditions of the Data Age have led to Possibilities Science which is infinite and now defines our universes.

In Part III, you’ll explore how Possibility Science will generate and innovate our continuously growing and changing universes. It is here that Dr. Carkhuff introduces Generativity Science and how it focuses exclusively on the freeing functions of possibility science and generates new universes of possibility.

Over many years, Bernard Berenson and renowned social scientist Robert Carkhuff sought solutions to human predicaments by changing the dimensions of the predicaments - requirements of conditions, component inputs, transforming processes and function outputs. They generated new and more effective paradigms for elevating the growth and development of people and their endeavours. In the process, they conceptualised “The New Science of Possibilities” and co-authored a book by the same name.

Dr. Carkhuff’s greatest contribution is The Generativity Paradigm that empowers traditional sciences with “Human Intentionality.” In so doing, he introduces a whole new paradigm of Paradigmetric Measurement.

Carkhuff and the Possibilities Science is the story of Paradigm Change which is what human growth and civilised human endeavours are all about.

The book is organised into seven parts covering:
  • Scientific Influences - Behaviourism, Phenomenalism and Ideation
  • Scientific Generativity - Hypothetical-Deductive Modelling, Generating Ideation and Operations of Marketplace Positioning
  • The Science of Science - Paradigmetric Modelling and the Science of Generativity
  • Generating Possibilities - The Assumptions of Possibilities, Generating Expanded Possibilities and Generating Phenomenal Possibilities
  • The Possibilities Mind - Generativity Processing Systems, Phenomenal Processing Freedom, The Possibilities Mind and The Changeability Standard
  • Human Generativity - Processing Potential, Future Generativity, Scientific Perspective and The Changeability Standard
Carkhuff and the Possibilities Science is the third title in the groundbreaking Human Sciences series. In Volume I, we learned how Possibilities Science addresses the limitations of Probabilities Science and led to Generativity that defines the best processes for generating the best ideas. In Volume II, we discovered how the power of Probabilities, Possibilities and Generativity Sciences is employed by the Science of Change.

The new Science of Change emphasises our ability as humans to become masters of our destinies. We can control our own predetermined destinies, empower our own intentional destinies and generate our own changeable destinies. In The Human Sciences, Volume II, you’ll examine the Science of Change and how it helps us break through boundaries limited only by our intellect. This is a powerful resource for business professionals and educators who seek new processes for generating new and better ideas.

Dr. Carkhuff is a renowned social scientist who has been generating the science of human generativity for years. In the earlier Volume I of The Human Sciences, we learned how Probabilities Science dominated human existence and defined the conditions of scientific experiments yet was limited in its ability to describe, predict and control human performance. We learned how Possibilities Science addresses the limitations of Probabilities Science and led to Generativity that defines the best processes for generating the best ideas.

In Volume II, you’ll learn how the power of all three of these sciences is employed by the Science of Change.

Here’s a preview:

Part I defines the Science of Change and presents a case study of how this psychology was applied to economics. You’ll see how a city was dramatically transformed from a declining manufacturing base to an exemplary information technology centre.

In Part II, you’ll learn how the Science of Change enables us to generate solutions to any problem in any human behaviour. And, you’ll gain a roadmap for change that is developmental and cumulative: We initiate probabilistically, transform possibilistically, culminate generatively and evolve intentionally.

In Part III, Dr. Carkhuff summarises how our goals as humans are limited only by our intellect. The choice is ours.
