Description
Summary:It is contended that today's society is in the throes of meaninglessness and valuelessness. Although-many historical, cultural, and psychological factors are involved, this paper concentrates on two hypotheses: (a) man needs to fulfill himself in all those aspects considered human, and (b) whatever aspect of human nature is most repressed or ignored in one age will be most apparent in the rebellion of the age following. These hypotheses are considered within a broad perspective of past history, followed by a discussion of three possible future directions. Finally, the challenge for the Christian is presented.
