Abstract

we live in an unusual world, marked by very great and irreversible changes that occur within the span of a man's life. We live in a time where our knowledge and understanding of the world of nature grows wider and deeper at an unparalleled rate; and where the problems of applying this knowledge to man's needs and hopes are new, and only a little illuminated by our past history.KeywordsScientific RevolutionOrdinary LifeMoral ProgressGreat DiscoveryHuman InstitutionThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
