ABSTRACT
Not in politics and not in economics lies the final arbiter of our time. Politics and economics are dependent upon belief. Shall we succeed in overcoming the spiritual decay which threatens us with social chaos? Shall we succeed in permeating politics and economics with the spirit of freedom and solidarity which are both rooted in the spiritual? Unfettered by history we must give meaning to our life and time out of our own deepest experience. But however desirous the generation which experienced the world war may be of severing itself from history, we all stand upon the soil of the Western tradition which our forefathers have cultivated. If we forsake this, we are in danger of losing ourselves in the void.
