“We stand at the brink of an age of a world in which human life presses forward to actualize new forms. The false separation of man and nature, of time and space, of freedom and security, is acknowledged and we are faced with a new vision of man in his organic unity and of history offering a richness and diversity of quality and majesty of scope hitherto unprecedented.”
Kohn advances the thesis that in the mid-twentieth century man has entered upon the first stage of a truly global history. We stand, according to Kohn, on the threshold of an age in which we will acquire, through the understanding and, indeed, transcendence of nationalism, an enriched moral experience and a qualitative deparochialized vitality.
