Abstract

The article presents information on the book "In Search of a Way of Life," by Edgar E. Singer. Naturalism as a philosophic outlook is repeatedly dismissed, with varying degrees of vehemence and condescension, as insensitive to genuine spiritual values and to the grandeurs and tragedies of human existence. And it is almost fashionable in some quarters to blame nearly all the current ills of on the habit of thought which takes its standards of evidence and truth from modern science. An adequate scheme of life, according to Singer, is a dedicated life, one which involves the subordination of human desires to a supreme objective that is valid for all men at all times.
