The Myth of Modernity

First published in 1950, this was a new work by Charles Baudouin, world-famous French psychologist and takes its title from the opening chapter, which examines the transformation of the myth of Progress, characteristic of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, into the myth of Modernity, characteristic of the time of writing. A broad humanity and a gentle irony are the characteristic features of this simulating book, now available again to be enjoyed in its historical context.
