| Summary: | There are some people who are foolish enough to believe that all ideals of the past are outgrown and worthless. Particularly are we tempted to think that Ezekiel, if not Plato himself, belongs to an age that has become merely archaeological. But nothing could be farther from the truth. The great problems of the past are still the problems of today, and the teachings of men like Ezekiel and Plato, when once they are understood, still have inspiration. Professor Baldwin's comparison of the social ideals of these two great men of the past is something more than an antiquarian discussion. It is a study of the originators of much that is idealistic in our modern world. |
