But the main - thesis the vindication of which brings with it as a possibility the re-establishing of life and the rebirth of culture - could not be convincingly developed until shown to be the only road to the goal. And to this end the critical treatment was indispensable. It is not an accessory, but an essential. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
