二十世紀上半葉，人類歷經兩次世界大戰的殘酷洗禮，深感前景茫茫，特別是西方的知識菁英，對於西方文明的前景，更有諸多反思。殷海光翻譯德貝吾（J. G. De Beus）的《西方之未來》一書，正具有向國人介紹這波思想潮流的意義。 本書共分十六章，分為三大部分，對西方文明的探討，層次分明。殷海光指出，德貝吾以歷史發展為經，以世界事象為緯，綜合建構文明發展的一般模型，以探討西方文明之現狀，估量西方文明現有的創造力，進而勾勒未來世界之景象，展望天下一家的可能。殷海光認為，因為德貝吾「採取視域是四進向的：從古至今，從西方世界到東方世界，無不論列」，所以，閱讀本書，「我們不僅得到歷史眼光，而且可以得到世界眼光」，深具意義。 值得一提的是，本書中處處可見殷海光對內容的按語。這些按語，有長有短，如今讀來別有意義，例如第139頁，內文談到西方國家的自由可以應用到東方時，殷海光寫的按語為：「這才是解決東西癥結的高明方法。」其他如：「只有西方的生活方式才能給人類帶來高等的文明。設若全球實行「社會主義」，全人類一定低落而為蜂蟻。現在，我們正立於這一分水嶺上。」「這對於民主之培養，非常重要。」由這些按語，讀者可從中看出臺灣自由主義代表人物殷海光的關懷與專注之處，也可看出他那富有情感的筆法。
