...this short tragedy is not an unqualified statement of the intense misogyny of Strindberg's youth: the duality of his evaluation of women, which led him alternatively from violent, Nietszchean disgust of females to a submissive craving for maternal warmth and comfort, receives a bit of the attention it will enjoy more fully in later plays. The Strindberg hatred for the feminist opportunist pervades The Link, but an appreciation of the woman as mother is not totally absent...
Says he: "We cannot find comfort in any idea that the Communist regime is going to be overthrown or converted to our beliefs. For the foreseeable future, the leaders in the Kremlin are going to be guided by their firm faith in the triumphal spread of their doctrine across the globe. On the other hand, I do not think that the present Soviet leaders will bring on war except by miscalculation or mistake.

He was simply impatient with his fellow academicians and their endless hairsplitting over matters that had no relation to life. A vibrant, generous person, he hoped to show that religious emotions, even those of the deranged, were crucial to human life. The great virtue of The Varieties, noted Pragmatist Philosopher Charles Peirce, is its "penetration into the hearts of people." Its great weakness, retorted George Santayana, is its "tendency to disintegrate the idea of truth, to recommend belief without...
