The authors of this challenging work believe that we must look for the cause, not in the outer circumstances of life, but in certain inner changes that are taking place in men's minds as part of the continuing evolution of mankind. They suggest that the tensions of modern man are a direct result of this evolutionary force and the inner changes that result from it. To discover the nature of these changes it is necessary to look back through the centuries to see in what ways men's beliefs and attitudes have changed. In exploring these questions relating to the human situation, the authors reconcile many ancient beliefs with modern scientific knowledge and philosophical understanding in a way that will appeal to both the specialist and the layman. This provocative book confronts the central issues of our time and will be of vital interest to all who are concerned with the future of mankind. Its message for these troubled and bewildering times brings a new hope to the individual and a new purpose to his life. The authors are both British engineers who have been closely associated for most of their lives. Together, over twenty years, they have worked out the original and stimulating ideas presented in this book. While they have dealt to a great extent with European history, their comments apply equally to other parts of the world.…
