    Published "Adventures of Ideas." "One meaning is the effect of certain ideas in promoting the slow drift of mankind towards civilization. This is the Adventure of Ideas in the history of mankind. The other meaning is the author's adventure in framing a speculative scheme of ideas which shall be explanatory of the historical adventure. The book is a fact study of the concept of civilization, and an endeavour to understand how it is that civilized beings arise." Civilization needs constant ideas.
