Description:A bubbling caldron of ideas . . . Enlightening and valuable. --Mervyn Jones, New Statesman. The political and social revolutions of the nineteenth century, the pivotal writings of Goethe, Marx, Dostoevsky, and others, and the creation of new environments to replace the old--all have thrust us into a modern world of contradictions and ambiguities.

He concludes that adaptation to continual flux is possible and that therein lies our hope for achieving a truly modern society.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
