Abstract

The editor attempts to give unity to this anthology by a humanistic orientation, i.e., by labeling the main sections "Man and Philosophy," "Man and Nature," "Man and His Fellow Men," etc. Although this is largely a terminological device, it does have the result that the book does not try to cover the entire philosophical map. The essays are chosen to represent types of thought, and a number of philosophers not often represented in such anthologies are included.—R. J. W.
