Reviews
In this brief but ambitious book, Mr. Diefenbeck develops a metaphysical position that sees activity as the fundamental reality; shows the inability of traditional objective modes of thought to comprehend activity, outlines a subjective epistemology that overcomes these limitations, demonstrates the power of these insights by applying them to problems of organism and evolution, and speculates on their possible use to achieve advances in the control of organic development that might be called miraculous. The author's theory of knowledge is developed more fully elsewhere, but this book contains the most complete published statement of his metaphysical position. I recommend the book very highly. * Thomas Gillooly *
