Excerpt: When a person looks at the world round about him for the first time, a multitude of questions throng in upon him from all sides. For the questions that we are concerned with in our lives are innumerable and most of them are so insoluble that, after once having come to grips with them, we seem to feel unable to withdraw from the contest. Indeed, it is not strange that all the peoples of history have voiced their vexation at being confronted by the very questions which at the moment confront us and which we cannot shake off.
