About this book

Will Durant's 1917 essay argues that many of the greater philosophers made the social problem their central concern, and that philosophy is the first requirement for dealing with it well. Part I looks at Socrates, Plato, Francis Bacon, Spinoza and Nietzsche in turn. Part II weighs proposed remedies such as socialism, anarchism and eugenics, then turns to organized intelligence and education. Durant was then an instructor in philosophy in extension teaching at Columbia University.
