In This Context, The Operational Treatment Of The Concept Assumes A Political Function. The Individual And His Behavior Are Analyzed In A Therapeutic Sense - Adjustment To His Society. Thought And Expression, Theory And Practice Are To Be Brought In Line With The Facts Of His Existence Without Leaving Room For The Conceptual Critique Of These Facts.
