Philosophy and Reality
McGill, V. J. | April 2, 1938 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "A Philosophy for a Modern Man" by the author H. Levy. Levy's book is another contribution to philosophy and the theory of science in a language comprehensible to the general public. It possesses, however, one merit far in advance of the popular works of other British scientists. This is its social relevance and responsibility. At a time when poverty and unemployment were widespread in England, and people with a social conscience dreamed of utilizing science to usher in a new and more reasonable society, Levy saw great scientific leaders come forward to explain that all was vanity, that unreason lay at the very basis of reality--in the quanta of action and the behavior of electrons.
