ABSTRACT
Man is a gregarious, language using, unity seeking organism, the human imagination being the supreme ordering agent in the known universe. At one level man experiences freedom of choice; he feels himself to be a free agent seeking order and harmony. The romantics believed in man, and they knew that the imagination alone could fashion man anew. Man is capable of an excellence "out of this world", above that of his normal everyday life. In his desperate plight today man has to put this most powerful part of himself back into its place, as an integrated element of his own organic and personal nature. Man must act more from whole naturedness, less from hope or fear, never from a sense of guilt or sin. Man is certainly now changing his mind, and in many communities both the rate of change and misinterpretations of the direction of change are causing alarm.
