PHILOSOPHY
Physics and Philosophy. By Sir James Jeans. Cambridge University Press. 222 pp. (Ss Gd net.)
Modern physics, Sir James Jeans says, has moved "close to the territory of philosophy," opening new views of the universe and man's nature. No scientific development has roused deeper curiosity in the nonscientific reader, whose questions this book answers, not conclusively but intelligibly. "If we must state a conclusion, it would be that many of the former conclusions of nineteenthcentury science on philosophical questions are once again in the melt-ing-pot." THE GREAT TRADITION The Great Learning and The Mean-in-Action. By E. R. Hughes. J. M. Dent and Sons, Ltd. 176 pp. (8s Gd net.) Mr Hughes newly translates and admirably interprets two of China’s most fruitful works in the Confucian school of thought: books in which, through many centuries, China has found "the spiritual principle which could make a society." And still finds . ; . for the words with which Chiang Kai-shek inspired China's continued resistance and declared the aims bcu were drawn, precisely from Great Learning."
