Evyn Breck Will Durant Is Writing New Book As Sequel to Successful "Story" to Popularize Study of Philosophy Will Durant is writing another book on philosophy, he revealed in a special interview yesterday. It is to be called "The Story of Companion Volume to the phenomenally successful "Story" of which more than 100 million copies have been sold; and it will probably appear in May. Its purpose will be to create greater popular interest in philosophy. Out of Retirement Of the long-promised "History of the Nineteenth Century" Doctor Durant has completed the first thousand pages of his achievements of mankind from his humble beginnings down to the latter century and has published thousands of pages, to be published in the thousand pages.

The events of the nineteenth century will be set forth for the purpose of providing an active in that it will depart from the usual type of history which is merely, Doctor Durant pointed out, a superficial statement of battles and campaigns; and moves. It will take into consideration literature, philosophy, art, invention and science. These, as Doctor Durant made plain in his lecture Friday evening, are the most important movement in the historical struggle. "Of course," he elicited, "a 'filthy foreign' visitor Eurone cannot expect to enter the intellectual life of its people, but the impression of an unwelcome intruder no as良er in their pursuit of knowledge as are Americans." The effect of the wide-spread popularization of knowledge, Doctor Durant believes, has been to make Americans more intellectually curious than before. Among the serious defects of popular knowledge he mentioned its inferior tendency to lag behind thedisplaystyle popular writers get around to explaining a scientific theory, new developments in the field have already been made. True, but most people think popular knowledge tags along ten years behind science. "must fault is not so apparent in my own field of philosophy," Doctor Durant said. "Though philosophers may have entirely different views of the broader problems in the field, fondness they have a vast of agreement." Because of their fundamental aspect, there is also a greater permanence in philosophical theories than in physical sciences. The cause of motion of atoms holds by modern physics, for example, in the movement of electrons in philipsen. Epicurus, an ancient Greek philosopher, held atoms possess a quality of free will which causes them to move through a stage of materialism, is now returning to the notion that is something alien to the "free will" concept of providing a moving cause of the motion of atoms.
