About This Item
New York: The Macmillan Company, 1953. hardcover. Book VG-: mild shelf wear to boards and spine, name FFEP, several spots of underlining in text, binding tight.. 8vo 531pp. ninth printing. "With this book Professor Northrop makes a major contribution to world understanding and philosophical criticism. In analyzing the ideological conflicts of the contemporary world, and in offering a resolution of these conflicts, his achievement is both important and timely. The main thesis of the book is that the traditionally alien cultures of the Orient and teh Occident are meeting; and that the working out of this meeting so that the values of each civilization complement and reinforce rather than combat and destroy those of the other is the chief task of the epoch just ahead." #02594.
