why men fight a method of abolishing the international duel

Book cover
TO all who are capable of new impressions and fresh thought, some modification of former beliefs and hopes has been brought by the war. What the modification has beon has depended, in each case, upon character and circumstance; but in one form or another it has been almost universal. To me, the chief thing to be learnt through the war has been a certain view of the springs of human action, what they are, and what we may legitimately hope that they will become. This view, if it is true, soems to afford a basis for political philosophy moro capable of standing erect in a time of crisis than the philosophy of traditional Liberalism has shown itself to be. The following lectures, though only one of them will deal with war, all are inspired by a view of the springs of actionTable of Contents CHAPTER PAGE; I The Principle of Growth3; IX The State42; III "War as an Institution79; IV Property117; V Education153; VI Marriage and the Population Question 182; VII Religion and the Ciiurches 215; VIII What We Can Do245About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
