ABSTRACT
The themes of universal origin are the world view and its implications for philosophy, physics, biology, and psychology, which will be great. Here the issues are technical, and perhaps of less interest to the general reader, though if he is under forty, he may well live to see the author's main theme proved right or wrong if ultimate disaster is avoided. One should not underestimate the unprecedented encouragement to the human psyche that the establishment of the world view and the consequent wave of therapeutic scientific discoveries would bring. There will always remain disaster and tragedy for individuals, and no conceivable historical change can eliminate all the causes of human suffering. Of supreme importance in the author's theme is the possibility of a swift consensus, which by its authentic expression of what man feels he should be and do in late twentieth century makes a powerful appeal to sane men and women everywhere and will be rejected by the pathological.
