A comparison by D. S. Savage of two ways towards mystical enlightenment based on ' The Way of a Pilgrim'
(anon.) translated by R. M. French and ' Zen in the Art of Archery by Eugen Herrigel translated by R. F. E. Hull
. with Norman Wynn and Blaise Wyndham
Produced by David Thomson
This programme is an experiment in parallel presentation. Two first-hand accounts of ventures into practical mysticism are set side by side: the first, a nineteenth-centurv Russian narrative of a wandering Pilgrim, a simple man, in search of a teacher in the art of interior prayer; the second, a contemporary
German philosopher's account of his instruction in the art of archery by a Japanese Zen master.
Although at first glance these narratives seem to have little in common with one another, nevertheless it may be that by this method of presentation a significant resemblance will emerge.

How far has man's development been governed by social factors and how far by genetical ones? Do the experts know enough to advise governments on the consequences of eugenic measures? And is the control of evolution in man likely to become an issue in the solution of any current social problems?
