"This book is a wonderful tribute to the studies, achievements, ideas, and hopes of Nolan Pliny Jacobson. A creative naturalistic philosopher who drew on such diverse sources as Marxism, the pragmatist John Dewey, the theist Reinhold Niebuhr, the process philosophers Henry Nelson Wieman and Charles Hartshorne, and Buddhism, Jacobson clarified and developed the meaning and relevance of the experience of creativity for human civilization worldwide. Jacobson's acute consciousness of 'the wonder of being vividly and memorably alive' is an experience well worth sharing with people everywhere. Also worth sharing are his methods of dealing with pervasive and enduring problems and his practical ideas about responding to them. This book helps make itpossible for others to share his ideas and respond to his suggestions."-Lewis E. Hahn, editor of The Library of Living PhilosophersMore details
