Description: We are living in a period of transition, and such transitions have always produced tragic explosions--brutality, destruction, gangsterism, war, revolution. The present crisis involves modern culture and represents an internal and spontaneous development of poisonous virus. The remedy does not lie in the readjustment of political or economic conditions, but in a revaluation of basic values--a fundamental change in our outlook and conduct, and the replacement of dying forms by a superior culture and society.
Notes: Based upon four volumes of the author's Social and cultural dynamics.
