add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the book "Paradoxy, the Destiny of Modern Thought," by Richard Rothschild. It is Mr. Rothschild's contention that people need philosophy today as a major factor in their lives. The portentous quality of his book lies in his optimistic approach to the problems of life. His is not the philosophy of despair. Mr. Rothschild's affirmation is religious, based upon the logical steps of his philosophy. From the study of the self, the structure of reality, and the similarities of fact and fancy, he follows the Kantian progression from the knowledge of self to knowledge of the world and finally of God.
