Page ix Preface Some years ago the idea expressed in the title of this book occurred to me, and much of Chapters One, Two, and Four were written then. More recently, when asked by the Lowell Foundation to give three lectures in Cambridge, Mass., I reworked Chapters One and Two and wrote Chapter Three to make a third lecture. Chapter Nine has been published only in a German translation. Chapter Ten was written recently for this book. The remaining four chapters are slightly revised or extended versions of essays published in various journals. Chapter Six was given as a lecture at West Virginia Wesleyan College.
