Our world is showing a lot of debris. Despite the huge area of human science and technology knowledge, the actual needs of human spirit and knowledge will still largely ignore his intellectual, will and spiritual values. This is a tragic fact. . The characteristics of postmodern culture throughout our world are the distrust of ideals such as end, goal, and soul.
In this book, the author's purpose is to try to eliminate the confusion caused by contemporary philosophy that fails to provide treatment for scepticism, positivism and agnosticism that affect human thought. He made a clever analysis of the failure of human reason and the steps needed to reintegrate it into life. Sadly, with the rise of analytic schools and similar schools, philosophy has got rid of its original profession of helping people shape their lives to meet the challenges of reality. He emphasized the need for holistic realism, which is an idea that draws on Jacques Maritan. If I can summarize the essence of overall realism in one line, it would be: Between philosophy and life, but also between value and fact, theory and practice, areas of personal concern and social life facts .
This book has 13 carefully selected and well-designed chapters. The author demonstrates his erudition and foundation in modern and contemporary philosophy, especially American philosophy. Born in the United States, it is natural for him to write philosophy in his own context and context. Therefore, in this respect, he is impossible, even his fault. However, this book has two shortcomings, not in itself, but in the current context. First of all, this book was written in the early 1970s because of some "problems" and sometimes some rebuttal arguments no longer have real relevance. Second, the book ' target audience is American, because people like me, from different countries, rarely find relevant, interesting and relevant content discussed. For example, authors often quote John Dewey and William James as authors of pure Americans and are therefore not known in Hindi. Nonetheless, the topics discussed by the author in each chapter provide valuable food for reflection.
This book is very suitable as a primer for philosophy. Beginners will find that the author's language is easy to read and understand, and easy to master these issues. I will recommend this book to anyone who is interested in philosophical adventures. But it must be remembered that the author wrote this book many years ago and used his knowledge at the time to solve the gloom of that era. Therefore, he does not use later concepts or ideas as postmodern ideas, although some of his solutions are accepted and promoted by postmodernists. This book provides an interesting paper and offers many possibilities for further research and reflection. The author's work and his practical approach to philosophy must be commended. Despite criticizing the universal pragmatism popular in the United States, one can notice its minority influence. The author summarizes the book and points out the purpose of writing, which motivates individuals to include the role of knowledge leadership, and provides a reasonable response to the challenges of human survival that advances technological advancement and fundamentalism.
