Sixteen discussion meetings, conducted by Dr. Howard W. Hintz, C hairman of the Department of Philosophy, Brooklyn College.

The purpose of this series will be to inquire into the universal and persistent problem of the attainment of a good life and a good society. Recognizing this quest as involving both individual and social values, and as embracing both the goals to be sought and the means to be employed in their ful fillment, four main lines of approach have been indicated. The first deals with certain basic views regarding the nature of man and the function of social organization; the second is concerned with the role of knowledge and intellectual enlightenment; the third pertains to the underlying moral and ethical values which provide the foundations of human advance; the last attempts to summarize and synthesize these component elements into a coherent pattern of objectives and procedures. The books upon which these discussions will be based represent a distinguished group of recent and contemporary social philosophers and critics. The series is divided into four periods, dealing with the fol lowing categories of discussion and the readings pertaining to them.
