This book is not just another manuscript written on ordinary, isolated subject matters in human affairs. The human condition cannot be addressed by attention to fragmented issues, narrow views, and limited concerns. Our human situation desperately needs a comprehensive, analytical evaluation to resolve the present condition. Portions of a massive body of literature related to man's physical, mental, and emotional existence have been considered and integrated into this book. Critical issues and interdependence of various parts in relation to the whole are viewed and discussed systematically. Important institutions of man including the family, education, religion, politics, justice, and culture have been analyzed, discussed, and evaluated. Finally, solutions to the human condition and the world situation are presented as the only options available to us at this time. This book is meant for those who struggle with what they think is their rational, spiritual, intellectual, or sentimental self. It is the author s intention not only to create a healthy, stimulating environment for such reflection, but to spark motivation and promote awareness in man.
