The rise of complexity theory 75 yrs later added to the crisis. Process philosophy provided a framework for this new science. Continued rumblings in theology produced process "theology".

 Barbara And Bruce MacLean-Lerro: Cross-Cultural Comparative Politics: Social Science or Cold War Propaganda? The field of comparative politics took off in the 1950s in Mordor & for 10 years it never lost its anti-communist tinge.

Our choose-up games had no managers&no umpires, yet we self-managed the games ourselves.
