Synopsis

Excerpt from Anthropos

The Greek word anthropos is given us in the lexicons as a triple compound, made up first, of an adverb that signifies upward; then of the frag ment of a verb that means to turn, and lastly of a noun that designates the human face. The whole, combined in one word, points us to man as the creature that turns his face toward the skies.

In this term we may find a reference either to that peiarity of physical structure that makes an upward look possible, natural, and easy to man, or to a real or supposed yearning in human nature for a higher destiny, or to that sense of dependence upon a higher power that has SO abundantly and variously expressed itself in man's religious history.
