The years of political and social despair in France-from the great depression through the Nazi occupation, Resistance, and liberation, to the Algerian War-forced French intellectuals to rethink the values of their culture

An exploration of social thought in Europe, covering Croce, Durkheim, Freud and Weber, as well as other great European minds. It asks questions such as - is there, or should there be, a relationship between science and religion? Does history have any ultimate meaning for future generations?

The years of political and social despair in France - from the Great Depression to the Algerian War - forced French intellectuals to rethink the values of their culture. Their faltering attempts to break out of a psychological impasse are the subject of this work.
