This essay is obviously related to my other writings. It is based upon them to the extent that hurried assertions, or topics merely mentioned in passing, are developed extensively elsewhere. I take the liberty of referring the reader to the following works: The Theological Foundation of Law, The Presence of the Kingdom, L'Homme et l'Argent, propaganda: The Formation of Men's Attitudes -- Nation et Nationalisme, Revue de l'Evangelisation 1960 -- Mythes modernes, Diogene, 1958 -- Signification actuelle de la Reforme, Foi et Vie, 1959 -- Desacralisation dans le Monde Moderne, Semeur 1963. Furthermore, many political evaluations relate to a larger work wit the title: The Political Illusion. In particular, one will find there discussion of the term 'political'; politics and values; the current situation; the influence of news reports; autonomy versus politics; the centers of potential decision, etc.
