Vienna's population has slipped from 2,000,000 in 1910 to 1,600,000 today. Where once it was the center of a rich culture that produced, among dozens of other brilliant men. Dr. Sigmund Freud, Philosopher Martin Buber and Composer Arnold Schoenberg, today, mourns Werner Hoffman, director of Vienna's only gallery of modern art, "Austria simply is not avantgarde. People are brought up cherishing concepts of the 19th century, and the stimulating effect of the Jewish element is missing." Attracted by better pay and opportunity, thousands of young Austrian intellectuals have deserted the Danube...
Going on from Freud. Although his philosophy was deeply rooted in natural science, Whitehead found it necessary to employ an analysis of human experience as a basis for understanding nature. Cobb finds this approach particularly helpful to the task of theology because it takes into account both the post-Freudian understanding of man and the discoveries of modern physics. Classical metaphysics, says Cobb, got hung up on its static conception of reality; it assumed that a thing had an underlying, unchangeable substance-a notion rendered meaningless by discoveries of nuclear physics. Whitehead's view, more in harmony with contemporary...

Many areas of politics do not lend themselves to the kinds of generalizations (often quantitative) which behaviorism favors. The methods and concepts used by behav are based on a theory of politics (which emphasizes processes rather than structures, individuals and groups rather than institutions). This theory is to put it mildly, not the only conceivable approach to politics, or the only possible framework for observation...
