What is Outward Forms, Inner Springs : A Study in Social and Religious Philosophy about?
Building on the philosophies of the social sciences and of religion, the book is concerned with the interplay between the inner powers of individuals and the structures of their societies and also with how these inner powers affect how they see outer realities.
