The Philosophical Research Society is a nonprofit organization founded in 1934 for the purpose of assisting thoughtful persons to live more graciously and constructively in a confused and troubled world. The Society is entirely free from educational, political, or ecclesiastical control. Dedicated to an idealistic approach to the solution of human problems, the Society's program stresses the need for the integration of religion, philosophy, and the science of psychology into one system of instruction. The goal of this instruction is to enable the individual to develop a mature philosophy of life, to recognize his proper responsibilities and opportunities, and to understand and appreciate his place in the unfolding universal pattern.
Mr. Hall believes that adversity cannot be faced by the individual who is without a philosophy of life that really justifies the reason for living. He presents here a classification and explanation of the basic elements of life from which to determine that which is worth striving for, along with a formula for a useful and intelligent life, drawn from the mature reflections of the world's ablest and most profound thinkers. Illustrations and a comprehensive index are included.
