Présentation de l'éditeur :
The Making of Humanity CHAPTER I PROGRESS AS FACT AND VALUE I THE DISCOVERY OF MAN a ra Seiva Kovley avdpunrov Cety6repoy ireet. A ntigone. THE intellectual revolution of the nineteenth century has transformed our conceptions of human history in much the same manner as the intellectual revolution of the seventeenth century changed our view of the cosmic universe. Like the Ptolemaic world our notions concerning the career of our race were miserably stunted, dingy, and mean. The date 4004 B.C. was gravely accepted as the boundary of our retrospect ;and long before reaching back to it the conventional fable of history which, like the primitive epic whence it evolved, was chiefly concerned with racial, dynastic, and religious edification, faded into pure legend and mythology. As when awakening science crashed through the tinsel vaults of puerile cosmologies, discovering the sun-strewn infinities amid which speeds our quivering earth-speck, so have the mists of legend lifted before her radiant progress, and it is given us to view the panorama of mans long and wonderful career in something of its natural perspective and proportion.
