MAN: MIND OR MATTER?
By Charles Mayer
Translated with a Preface
by
Harold
A.
Larrabee
Andre Maurois has this to say
of Charles Mayer: "By the ex–
tent and variety of his learning,
he recalls those universal minds,
consumed with curiosity con–
cerning science, literature, and
action which were found in Eu–
rope at the time of the Renais–
sance. I find it admirable that
a writer, in the midst of the
present chaos of our planet,
should rise above his times,
work out a coherent system of
thought, and conCE'ntrate on
things which are eternal."
Says Professor Larrabee in the
Translator's Preface: ''There
are many reasons why Ameri–
can readers should welcome this
sanely optimistic survey of
man's place in ,the universe. • •
The principal one is it
will
aid
in resolving one of the greatest
paradoxes of our national exist–
ence: The flat contradiction be–
tween our pl'ofessions and our
practices in regard to physical
matter."
