One of Arnold's most compelling works, this essay explores the relationship of the individual to world sin and suffering and directs us clearly to a solution. Enlivened by a wide variety of anecdotal illustrations -- from the ancient myth of Prometheus to the expressionist Franz Werfel -- Arnold's message is simple but revolutionary: only by overcoming the cancerous selfishness of individualism can we overcome the need of the world and enter into a life of unity and love. It is the old truth: He that loses his life shall find it.
