MAN'S PLAUE IN NATURE
BY MAX SCHELER
$4
Translated and with an Introduction
by
Hans Meyerhoff
"Man is more of a problem to himself at the present time than ever
before in all recorded history." This phrase in Scheler's own preface
to
Man's Place In Nature
marks the spirit of free search and disci–
plined study with which the great European humanist evolved his
philosophy. "What is man?" and "what is man's place in the nature
of things?", Scheler summarizes here his ideas on philosophical
anthropology, based on his analysis of man and man's essential struc–
ture. The study is the brilliant result of Scheler's superb intellect,
combined with a genius for metaphysical ideas and a devotion to
painstaking empirical research.

Critical Essays

CLEMENT GREENBERG
$6
Modern art and culture receive compelling, incisive criticism in a
discussion that invites the reader to enter and enjoy the world of
art. Written by the unorthodox and astute critic whose discovery of
Jackson Pollock bespeaks his uncanny insight into art trends and
artists, this penetrating study probes the interplay of art and cul–
ture, revealing how each serves-and betrays-the other. The essays
cover a wide range of art and artists, including examinations of such
pace-setting painters as Monet, Renoir, Picasso, Eakins, Homer and
Marin.
