Synopsis

The Light of Reason is a book written by Abraham Benjamin Franklin in 1899. The book presents a compelling argument for the need for social justice in society and outlines the first step that the nation should take towards achieving this goal. The author argues that the current social order is unjust and that it is the responsibility of the government to take action to correct this imbalance. He proposes a number of measures that would help to create a more just society, including the establishment of a minimum wage, the abolition of child labor, and the creation of a public education system that is accessible to all. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to readers of all levels. It is an important work that continues to be relevant today, as issues of social justice and inequality continue to be major concerns in our society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Though it contains a story it is in reality, as indicated by its title, a treatise on the living questions of the day with which we are one and all concerned. I ts particular claim to public favor lies in the fact that it elucidates the manner by which the obstructions llrat lie in the path of progress may be removed, so that man kind may receive the full benefit of the discoveries made, and the knowledge gained by the human intellect. That some of its readers, especially such as are well along in years, will disagree with its conclusions is but to be expected. Youth is progressive. I ts hopes lie in the future, and for that reason it readily approves of innovations which it is convinced are for the public good. On the other hand, old age is conservative. It lives in the past, and is loath to adopt usages other than those to which it has become accustomed. But while the older generation is gradually relinquishing control of affairs, the younger is acceding to power, and will, as it inevitably must, mould the destiny of the nation in the immediate future.
