Abstract

Misuse of Reason

Wolpert, J. F. | May 15, 1948 issue

add to cart close window

The article focuses on the book The Misinterpretation of Man, by Paul Roubiczek. The clue to Roubiczek's thesis lies in the title of his work, The Misinterpretation of Man, the implication being that the author has the correct interpretation. This is a religious interpretation, and the conclusion he draws is that man's only way out of the present impasse, which he attributes to the dominance, and the inadequacy for the time, of certain nineteenth-century ideas lies in a revivified Christianity. Roubiczek declares himself a socialist.
