Arthur Koestler
ONE OF THE MOST STIMULATING
THINKERS OF OUR TIME
has written his magnum opus- the most ambitious
and penetrating of his wOl'ks to date. Starting
from the conflict of philosophies so brilliantly
posed in his volume of essays, "The Yogi and the
Commissar," Al'thur Koestler here works out a
synthesis that includes both the insight that the
Commissar lacks and the outlook that the Yogi
fails to achieve.
Koestler has pondered the subject matter
of this book for some twenty years, and devoted
five years of intensive study to it, reading widely
in the fields of biology, neurology, and psy–
chology. The result is an inclusive theory of ethics,
esthetics, and creative thinking which is "in
effect a diagnosis of the crisis in our civiliza–
tion,"- ATLANTIC MONTHLY.
