Notes
In an unpublished letter to John D. Rockefeller III, Maslow provides a public policy map for the development of Eupsychian societies.
The findings are so far that most urgent are the material needs; then come the safety-security needs; then comes belongingness; then come loving and caring, friendship, and affection; then come respect and self-respect and dignity; and then, finally, comes fulfilling one’s own individual potentials, what I have called self-actualization[2]
Hoffman mentions three books by Lewis Mumford as significant to Maslow's thought.[3]
- The Story of Utopias (1922)... helped bring architecture, aesthetics, and visionary urban planning into broad psychological and public awareness.
- The City in History (1961) and
- The Myth of the Machine (1967-1970).
As Hoffman notes, Maslow's suggestions on the needs satisfying nature of society are currently attracting urban planners, "including those in Australia, China, England, Japan, and Thailand. The title of a recent article led by Xuesen Zheng in the journal Buildings is illustrative: "From Maslow to Architectural Spaces: The Assessment of Reusing Old Industrial Buildings." Currently, such scholars are mainly drawn to Maslow's hierarchy of inborn needs. Perhaps even more powerful will be the application of his work on peak experiences and inner growth to optimize the vibrant city life that he long envisioned."[4]
Maslow roots his thinking on Eupyschian society in his original needs theory.[5] A more comprehensive theory of needs, one that takes into account Maslow's later thinking, as well as criticisms, is available, the Seven Essential Needs.[6]
