Excerpt from Recent Developments in European Thought Essays Arranged and Edited This volume, like its two predecessors, arises from a course of lectures delivered at a Summer School at Woodbrooke, near Birmingham, in August, 1919. The first, in 1915, dealt with The Unity of Western Civilization generally, the second, in 1916, with 'progress'. In this book. An attempt has been madeoto trace the same ideas in the last period of European history, broadly speaking since 1870.
