According to the author, this book is a "social analysis". In his
opinion religious belief and the development of religious opinion are related
to the economic background.
The book offers clear, vivid accounts of the various thinkers and movements
of the past century. Summaries are given even of the attitudes of quite
secondary figures, the disciples of the leading thinkers, if they help
to show the development of thought. It also deals with the political attitude
of the various schools of thoughts.
