Philosophy and Social Problem

Reviews the book, Philosophy and the social problem by Will Durant (1917). By the social problem the author means the problem of reducing human misery by modifying social institutions. The author believes that the solution is to be found only through philosophy, and devotes two-thirds of the book to an interpretation of the contributions of Socrates, Plato, Bacon, Spinoza and Nietzsche to the betterment of society. The remainder of the book is a plea for the dignity and importance of philosophical thinking at the present time. His plan is to organize the intelligence of the world to improve life, just as both the Germans and the Allies have organized the material and spiritual resources of the world to destroy life.
