The key to a sane and well-functioning society, Frank Sheed argues, lies in correctly understanding the nature of man. He contends that many of the social and political problems of the modern world stem from a failure to grapple with this fundamental question. Sheed challenges readers to consider how their views on human nature shape their approach to issues ranging from education and morality to politics and international relations.
