In the preface to this 1918 work, Hocking writes that the object of the book is the quest for the principles of educating, civilizing, converting, and ultimately saving the human being through a new method of philosophical and religious interpretation. He explores the notions of human instinct, will, and the senses of justice and art—with final chapters dedicated to a Christianity in which human will to power can find fulfillment.
Об авторе
William Ernest Hocking (1873-1966) was an American idealist philosopher in the tradition of Josiah Royce. He attempted to integrate idealism with empiricism, naturalism and pragmatism with the underlying idea that “that which does not work is not true.’ His major field of study was the philosophy of religion, but other books include discussions of philosophy and human rights, world politics, freedom of the press, the philosophical psychology of human nature and education.
