According to Mr Stace, modern [1952] culture is the arena of a struggle between two antagonistic views of the universe and of man's place in it. One is the age-old religious vision of the world as a divine and moral order, governed by spiritual forces and values. The other, which has been produced by science, although it is not a part of science, views the world as controlled by nothing but blind natural laws and forces which are entirely indifferent to moral purposes and spiritual ideals. The latter view which may be called naturalism or secularism, is the characteristic content of the modern mind. The problem engendered by the struggle of these two world views is the subject of this book The author first shows how, historically, the naturalistic view has been built up as a result of modern science. he discusses its consequences in the spheres of religion, morals, art, literature and philosophy; and then finally turns to the central problem which is thus posed for man's spiritual life. In 1948, Mr Stace, a Professor of Philosophy at Princeton, published in the Atlantic Monthly an article entitled Man Against Darkness, which, because it urged that the naturalistic view of the world must be accepted, was widely interpreted as an attack on religion. In the present book he examines the problem how a belief in the essential core of religion, which he interprets not merely as "morality tinged with emotion", but as the acceptance of a divine principle in the world, and which he bel;ieves to be an essential element in man;s higher life, can be maintained without repudiating the modern scientific or natural view of the universe. He regards the book therefore as a defense of religion against skepticism.
