ABOUT THE INTELLECTUAL WORK
of
THEODORE SCHROEDER
Evolutionary Psychologist and Lawyer
O
†.
*ANGELS” WANTED–AND PUBLISHERS TOO
No book has ever been printed which attempted to
define the subjective processes of psychologic evolution,
or to apply any such theory to the solution of any of our
social problems. I wish to complete such books.
For me, all social problems are problems of human
nature, that is, problems of psychology. More specifically
they are problems of mental health and of psychologic im-
maturity. I wish to finish a number of books which define,
justify and apply such a theory. The material is at hand
and many such essays of mine have appeared in technical
magazines. These need editing or rewriting for book pub-
lication, and some new essays need to be written.
During a long life-time, I have financed my own work,
but now need help to finish the record of that work.
I also need a publisher with confidence in his ability to
find a market for such new claims of truth—a wholly new
concept of evolutionary psychology, developed by the psy-
chanalytic method of observation and then applied to many
social problems.
I believe that this tentative theory of psychosocial
evolution will be the most important contribution to social
science since Darwin. Who will cooperate with me, for a
completion and publication of this first formulation of a
most important scientific contribution? This pamphlet
gives some indication of my past performance, and of the
more important work yet to be completed.
Yours for a saner society,
THEODORE SCHROEDER

ANGEL NEEDED FOR PRINTING AND DISTRIBUTING
THIS ITEM.
SUPERSPECIALIST ON LIBERTY
“This is a day of specialties and specialism, and Theodore
Schroeder is a specialist. It may be said, even, that he is
a superspecialist. Also, he is an exclusive specialist. His
specialty is human liberty. He is a liberty specialist, a
liberty expert, a liberty enthusiast. There be many other
liberty enthusiasts, and not a few liberty experts; but, so
far as I know, Mr. Schroeder is the only liberty specialist.
Applied liberty being something outside the sphere of
our social experience, Mr. Schroeder's consideration of the
subject necessarily is academic in character. Although he
possesses no more liberty than do the rest of us, he knows
much more about it than does any other of us. His lack
of knowledge of its practice does not lessen his knowledge
of its theory. He is a philosophic libertarian, a scientific
libertarian, a technical libertarian. He is the last word on
the subject of social liberty.
Mr. Schroeder has written more along these lines than
any other person that ever lived; and the aggregate volume
of his published writings in defense of unabridged freedom
of speech exceeds that of the combined similar output of
all other writers in the English language. His industry in
this direction is nearly incredible. He is an accepted au-
thority on the law of this subject, being himself of the legal
profession and profoundly versed in its various intricacies.”—
WALTER HURT, in The Paladin, Jan. 12, 1918.
A MAVERICK PSYCHOLOGIST

“One hundred and sixty [170 before 1944] periodicals in six languages
have published Theodore Schroeder's Psychological, Philosophical, Religious,
Medical, Sociological and Legal Essays; * * * At the very least, he is one
of the most interesting figures alive in America today.”—Maynard Shipley,
Pres, Science League of America, in: The New Humanist, v 6. 1933.
WORLD'S LEADING AUTHORITY
“A lawyer by profession [Theodore Schroederl has long
been the world's leading authority on the legal aspects of
freedom, and he has become convinced that the psychologic
approach to problems is more important than the legal.”—
PRYNs HOPKINS, in Freedom and Unity, Jan. 1942.

ERUDITE INFANTILISM
"IN the year of our Lord 1432 there arose a
grievous quarrel among the brethren over the
number of teeth in the mouth of a horse. For
thirteen days the disputation raged without ceas-
ing. All the ancient books and chronicles were
fetched out, and wonderful and ponderous erudi-
tion, such as was never before heard of in this
region, was made manifest. At the beginning of
the fourteenth day, a youthful friar of godly bear-
ing asked his learned superiors for permission to
add a word, and straightway, to the wonderment of
the disputants whose deep wisdom he sore vexed,
he beseeched them to unbend in a manner coarse
and unheard of, and to look into the open mouth
of a horse to find answer to their questionings. At
this, their dignity being grievously hurt, they waxed
exceeding wroth; and, joined in a mighty uproar,
they flew upon him and smote him hip and thigh,
and cast him out forthwith. For, said they, Surely
Satan hath tempted this bold neophyte to declare
unholy and unheard-of ways of finding truth con-
trary to all the teachings of the fathers. After
many days more of grievous strife the dove of
peace sat on the assembly, and they as one man
declared the problem to be an everlasting mystery
because of a grievous dearth of historical and the:
ological evidence thereof, and so ordered the same
writ down.—From an old Chronicle.”
With compliments of
Theodore Schroeder,
Coscob, Conn.

PROSPECTIVE BOOKS
There are several hundred of Schroeder's essays that
have appeared in magazines, and need preservation in
book form. Most of them need revising, and some need
rewriting. In most cases other essays must be written to
round out the thesis for a book. Below is a tentative
list of such possible books, which are here given a de-
scriptive title.
This list seems overlong, because many of the mag-
azine essays can be fitted to several different volumes.
One published essay is entitled: SEXUAL DETERMI-
NANT IN MORMON THEOLOGY. That essay could
be used in books on MORMONISM, SEX IN RELIGION,
or SEX IN SOCIETY. Some of the published essays have
even a more varied book-classification. This means that
many of the books hereafter listed can never appear. The
help received from others will determine which use will
be made of the existing material and which books will be
completed first. Tentative tables of contents for a number
of prospective books are ready, or in preparation.
