_The_ PLACE OF THE INDIVIDUAL IN SOCIETY [Illustration: Author Photograph] By EMMA GOLDMAN “NATIONALISM AND ITS RELATION TO CULTURE” _By_ RUDOLF ROCKER This profound work will revolutionize the intellectual world of thought by showing that the heretofore accepted notions as to the underlying causes 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 social and historical events. Buckle, Hegel, Marx and Spengler are just a few among the great thinkers who have contributed to this great task, but Rocker with his profound understanding and in his illuminating style shows 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 a living procession, the great cultures of all ages. The thoughts and ideals of the Ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks and Romans become accessible to us with the same clarity and understanding as the thoughts and ideals of our contemporaries. No intelligent person regardless of his school of thought, can afford to miss reading this great work. “Nationalism and Its Relation to Culture” will be published in two volumes and sold at $7.50 for both volumes.

People are losing faith in the existing institutions, and the more intelligent realize that capitalist industrialism is defeating the very purpose it is supposed to serve. The world is at a loss for a way out. Parliamentarism and democracy are on 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 social problems urgently demanding a solution. The welfare of the individual and the fate of human society depend on the right answer to those questions. The crisis, unemployment, war, disarmament, international relations, etc., are among those problems.
