This book is an attempt to discover some underlying factor, in accordance with which History may be interpreted and the occurrence of all events explained. Chapters I to V contain a statement of the theory that the factor is to be found in the existence of a mental conflict as to the means by which happiness is to be attained, between the idea that content is to be found in complete submission, “Universalism,” or in complete self-assertion, “Individualism.” Chapters VI to XI endeavour to show how far this theory is justified by the past history of Europe and of England, and in Chapter XII an attempt is made to interpret the tendencies of the present day. Since the completion of this book in the spring of 1914.
