Abstract

Aristotle remarks in his Ethics that the insights of the elderly, who speak from the experience of a long and good life, are often more profound than the trained speculations of the philosophers. Mr. John Molloy has distilled from his eighty-three years of successful living some basic ground-rules for an integrated life. He calls his essay "a study of design in objective existence" and claims that the basic laws of human relations are simple, available for all to know and practice. This short, epigrammatic essay is pervaded by the joy, grace and serenity of which its author speaks and to which he testifies.--W. G. E.
