Excerpt from A Challenge to the Time-Spirit This book is meant to promote the conflict of the spirit of Catholicism with the Time-spirit of the twentieth century. The method has been to choose a number of widely different subjects, such as music, economics, marriage, sculpture, eugenics, painting, and philosophy - live topics in which the opposing tendencies are manifest - to indicate the principle of selection and the principles of variation, and, finally, to formulate a challenge, or rather invitation, designed to facilitate an adjustment between the new and the old. I beg to thank the Editors of the Catholic World and the Dublin Review respectively for kind permission to reproduce copy. The summary nature of the last chapter would seem to excuse me from a lengthy introduction, even though it is the fashion for writers to tell their readers beforehand what their book is all about.
