A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This is an analysis of the nature, causes and consequences of the crisis of modern society. Professor Sorokin asserts that the whole of modern culture is undergoing a period of transition brought on by the struggle between the forces of the largely outworn materialistic order and the emerging, creative forces of a new idealistic order. On the outcome of this struggle, the author contends, rests the progress and survival of mankind.

Biographie de l'auteur :

Social scientist, philosopher, visionary, Pitrim A. Sorokin was sentenced to death, then exiled from the Soviet Union and later became Head of Sociology at Harvard. No mere pawn of the Cold War years, he explodes the myths of both capitalism and communism by looking beyond daily conflicts to the broader crisis of our age.
