Summary: This book describes several important recent discoveries in different natural and social sciences, submits the concepts of each to a careful epistemological analysis, thereby arriving at an empirically verifiable theory of what a human being is and what groups of human beings called nations are, and then applies this theory and the political methods which it prescribes to the description and suggested solution of some major political problems .of today's world .. The first two words of the book's title derive from the fact that one of these discoveries occurred in the science of cultural anthropology when scientists such as Paul Radin and Clyde Kluckhohn found that even people without a written language share a common, but by no means simple, philosophy, and that to determine objectively the culture of a particular people one must specify their predominant philosophy.
