...where Marx stood: for science against religion, for industrialism against "the idiocy of rural life," for the new nation-state against the remnants of the old political order. But he regarded the new order, capitalism, as a transient phase that would soon destroy itself and be replaced by a wave that he saw expressed in the third attitude toward the new order, revolution. The liberals, eyes on the future, tended to be insensitive to the suffering, material and psychological, caused by the march of the new order. Marx was not. He believed, incorrectly, as it turned out, that the material...

Others came out of general dissatisfaction with Harvard education or procedures. Others came out of a desire for solidarity with the occupiers, or for an exhilarating experience. Thus the group in the building was far from homogenous. The numbers in the building did not exceed...
...This century began with a great wave of optimism. . .that through the advance of science and technology and the deveslopment of new political forms we'd go on to a greater and happier time," he said. The optimism had declined, as it was discovered that science and democracy held potentials for evil as well as good, he commented, "Now, we've come almost to the point of developing a new set of inhuman or sub-human values...
