ABSTRACT
Science is the image we form of the continuity of nature, and history image of own past. In static thought these two are separate, but in unitary thought they become one. In every recent century there must have been decades in which men believed they were experiencing unusually rapid social changes. Human history is a part of natural history, but a part in which the method of approach has a special importance. A human type unprejudiced by old illusions may easily dominate a disordered society, but that alone is not an adequate explanation of the ascendancy of the distorted man of the twentieth century. Human history is a part of natural history, but a part in which the method of approach has a special importance.
