Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ideals of America: Analyses of the Guiding Motives of Contemporary American Life by Leaders in Various Fields of Thought and Action An Era ended in July, 1914. A civilization reached its conclusion. We are now far enough away to begin to see its affairs in perspective. Nineteen hundred and fourteen is detached from the present. The year so recent has begun to take its place with 1896, 1861, and even with 1775. This almost immediate past is already becoming as alien to us as are the epochs we have learned through the written chronicles of the past. What is ahead we cannot say with assuredness, although the rude outlines of the future are visible now to the clear-eyed as objects perceived in the semilight of approaching dawn. At such a season of transition it is, accordingly, especially valuable to attempt to take stock so that thereby we may cooperate with destiny in achieving a more satisfactory society.
