Abstract
We are in the midst of a world-embracing philosophical and cultural interaction and reconstruction. Every cultural and philosophical tradition, as embodied somewhere in social customs, is involved. Every species of the old is both affecting and being transformed by the new. At the same time, two normatively incompatible political and economic philosophies for modernizing the world are competing for men’s minds and customs in Asia and Africa as well as the West, even to the brink of war in an atomic age.
