...mature thinkers go by petition or invitation to contemplate problems of great moment to mankind; where philosophical treatises are conceived, prescribed, submitted, criticized, developed, issued to the world. Count Keyserling's chief preoccupation is with the Western World, whose soul and mind he and others (notably Herr Doktor Oswald Spengler) profess to find in a decline.

S. publication of what is commonly regarded as the outstanding historico-philosophical treatise of 20th Century Germany is an item of import to be noted if not investigated by the average man.
