Social scientists express growing concern about man's capacity to achieve a state of existence greater than that of mere survival. \"Popularizers\" and writers of \"social criticism\" echo this concern. Obviously, because of scientific and technological changes, man's participation is needed less and less in the production of economic abundance. He is, therefore, to be free to engage in other pursuits. Awareness of this impending freedom challenges those intellectuals who wish to describe and to anticipate the direction and quality of man's total existence.
