Nature and Man

This self-contained treatise, originally published in 1947 by Holt, Rinehart and Winston, examines fundamental features of nature in order to lay the groundwork for providing a solution to the major problems of ethics. The guiding thread of this examination is the idea of freedom. The acknowledgement that this universal freedom, which illustrates the integration of man and his problems in the rest of nature, demonstrates how nature provides a place for man, the being who is at once natural and responsible.
