Books by Paul Roubiczek

In this 1969 text, Paul Roubiczek argues that in the age of science there is still a place for ethics and a need for the philosophical method. He attempts to prove this by examining the contributions of three disciplines - history, psychology and sociology - towards man's understanding of his moral involvement with society.

Roubiczek attempts a proper balance between the objectivity of theory and personal experience. Concentrating on the valuable aspects of Existentialism, he looks for positive results which can be philosophically justified and at the same time, accepted as a way of life. The book is therefore both an introduction to this school of philosophy and a critique of it.
