Abstract

An Apology for the Present
Hazlitt, Henry | April 2, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

It has been frequently charged by some of the critics of the sect called humanism that its doctrines have no relation whatever to the present time. Its truth, however, has now been freely confessed from within the humanist order, by that new but surely ardent disciple, author Seward Collins. The humanists do not claim the present. They claim the best literature of the past and the best of the future. The contemporary they will dispose of to American naturalists and aesthetes at a very low figure.
