The Realizations of the Future: An Inquiry into the Authority of PraxisAllan (philosophy, Dickinson College, and author of The importances of the past) is concerned with the nature of social value: how values emerge and how they manage to gain the authority they have over the beliefs and practices of generation after generation of people. In this work he focuses on human effort, concrete action, realization of the future through creative activities--as beginning points for the search for a foundation to values.
