“NATIONALISM AND ITS RELATION TO CULTURE”
By RUDOLF ROCKER
This profound work will revolutionize the intellectual world of thoughtby showing that the heretofore accepted notions as to the underlyingcauses of Social Phenomena are only partially true and therefore,inadequate to explain how social changes are affected.
Many great thinkers have sought to formulate a “Philosophy of History”which would enable us to analyze and explain, as well as predict socialand historical events. Buckle, Hegel, Marx and Spengler are just a fewamong the great thinkers who have contributed to this great task, butRocker with his profound understanding and in his illuminating styleshows why the “Hegelian Dialectics”, “Marx’s Economic Determinism” and“The Spenglerian Philosophy of Destiny” have failed.
In this veritable encyclopedia of knowledge, we see before us, in aliving procession, the great cultures of all ages. The thoughts andideals of the Ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks and Romans becomeaccessible to us with the same clarity and understanding as the thoughtsand ideals of our contemporaries. No intelligent person regardless ofhis school of thought, can afford to miss reading this great work.

The world is at a loss for a way out. Parliamentarism and democracy areon the decline. Salvation is being sought in Fascism and other forms of“strong” government.
The struggle of opposing ideas now going on in the world involves socialproblems urgently demanding a solution. The welfare of the individualand the fate of human society depend on the right answer to thosequestions. The crisis, unemployment, war, disarmament, internationalrelations, etc., are among those problems.
