Features: The author discusses the concepts of education and democracy, the challenges of thought, the relationship between human nature, science, and academia, as well as values and human thinking. Additionally, he critiques philosophers such as James and Whitehead. Some of the papers included in this book are specialized, making them appear not directly related to the "problem of man." However, they are given a place because they represent certain aspects of self-critical and purifying work. As the author states in the preface, if philosophy is to fulfill its task under current conditions, it requires such self-criticism or purification. The author discusses the concepts of education and democracy, the challenges of thought, the relationship between human nature, science, and academia, as well as values and human thinking, and also critiques philosophers such as James and Whitehead.
