“Dr. Grant’s penetrating analysis of the ideas that have helped make the present day mass society of both East and West will throw light on the recurring questions of thoughtful men: what is modern man; how did he come to be, and where is he heading? Dr. Grant traces the development of two basic philosophies of life: the theory of the natural law – that each creature achieves its perfection by accepting its place in the order of hierarchical being – and the theory of unlimited progress – that man is capable of changing the order of being, of making the world what he wishes it to be.” (#6169) $89.00
