Each of these men saw the Western world in a state of crisis focusing on the conflict between science and religion. Their doctrines appear here as a "dialogue" between these men and the historical situation. "I shall attempt," writes Professor Aron in the introduction, "to bring out what these doctrines contained by way of scientific understanding of human behaviour and modern societies, without forgetting the personal element which colours each. And to participate in the dialogue.".
