Saints and Revolutionaries is a non-fiction work by the writer and philosopher Olaf Stapledon, published by Heinemann in 1939.
[1] The book was part of the I Believe series, an initiative whereby leading British intellectuals of the day could pursue an argument pertinent to the times.
Stapledon's book pursues themes familiar to readers of his science fiction – the universe and humanity's place in it, both personally and as a species.
To an extent, the themes and preoccupations of Saints and Revolutionaries can be said to be present in most of Stapledon's fiction and philosophy.
[citation needed] However, the posthumously-published Nebula Maker is closest in theme, as its two main protagonists embody these two roles.
