Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the ideas and writing style of George Bernard Shaw, one of the most prominent figures in early 20th-century English literature. The author argues that Shaw's emphasis on order and similarity in his writing reflects his larger philosophical predilections, which include a belief in the predictability and controllability of human behavior and society. The author traces this predilection through many facets of Shaw's work, including his socialist leanings, his rejection of Darwinism, and his advocacy for a "Life Force" that guides evolution. The book concludes that Shaw's focus on order and similarity provides unique insights into the mind and work of this influential writer.
