Summary/Abstract: First published pn 1949 by Allan Wingate (Publishers) Limited 12 Beauchamp Place London SWj //The first group of these essays deals with the general problems of human rights. The others deal in greater detail with such subj’ects as the respect for cultural diversity, the social implications of science, the value of objective information, the right to education and the special position of primitive peoples, dependent peoples, law-breakers, etc.In selecting the texts of the replies which are included in the volume, an attempt has been made to offer a representative sample of the whole range of opinions expressed. In addition, it was thought desirable to give publicity to the opinions of certain thinkers which differed from the final conclusions of unesco, but which were, nevertheless, stimulating in their originality of thought.
