Book Notes

BOOK REu 199 situation in which men can pursue intrinsic satisfactions. Therefore government requires a normative base, just as engineering requires a base of physical theory. A normative science which would study man's telic nature is needed. We must not only know how men in point of fact behave but how they ought to behave. Gotshalk's trilogy on value is itself a profound and sorely needed study which demonstrates the inter-relationship of philosophy, social science, and practical politics. It is a challenge to philosophers, too many of whom are atavistically isolated from each other and from the general intellecutal community. By being aware of the need for social re-integration and of the principle of inter-relation the philosopher may take his proper place in society. He will be both critic and creator. By generalizing beyond the bounds of specialization and discipline Gotshalk gives to philosophy a new sense of mission, a new hope, a new role. This role is no less than insuring that "the promise of modern life" be kept. ROBERTW. JuNQ Southern Methodist University BOOK NOTES Elder Olson, ed., Aristotle's Poetics and English Literature.

New York: Harper & Row, 1966. Paper, $3.95 each. These volumes inaugurate a new series and, like similar anthologies, reflect the special ways in which their editors teach or treat their subjects. (1) is perhaps the most generally helpful for class use, gathering together classical and contemporary sources. (2) and (3) are rather more specialized, containing, with rare exceptions, articles and snippets from books not anthologized before. To my mind (2) is likely to be rather less useful as a survey of topics in the philosophy of mind than, say, Gustafson's much cheaper volume, Philosophical Psychology, though it is useful to have conveniently collected together articles...
