Humanism and Politics. By Albert William Levi. (Bloomington, Ind.: Indiana University Press, 1969. Pp. 498. $15.00.) This book is a response to an urgent need. Professor Levi argues that our civilization is on the edge of an abyss which threatens to swallow up the works of Proust, Picasso, Wallace Stevens, and Stravinsky just as it did those of Menander. Auschwitz and Hiroshima are the warnings, and the author reminds us again and again, lest we forget, of the stakes for which he is playing. Although our situation is such as to have induced the despair and withdrawal from political involvement of Martin Heidegger and Norman Mailer, this is a temptation which must be avoided, for we can be saved, Levi says, only by the intervention of the humanistic imagination.
