Présentation de l'éditeur
Lord Bacon said that it was not Bacon spurpose to make men perfect. His humble aim was to make imperfect men comfortable. This Baconian philosophy, whose aim is to exploit all the forces of nature for the comfort and convenience of mankind, and which finds happiness not in the exercise of mans highest powers but in the release and satisfaction of human desires, originally characterized only theE nglish-speaking peoples, but has now extended to the whole world. While personally I believe that a civilization based on such a foundation as this is artificial and ephemeral, nevertheless to write a book to prove this would be a thankless task. It would be just a sermon, fruitful of nothing but yawns. We do not now look with very much alarm at such warnings as Civilization at the Crossroads. We are not greatly impressed when we are told that the kind of society which the social reformers promise us is not such a society as we ought to have; just as the laborer is not very much impressed when the capitalist tells him that his poverty is good for him.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the social and psychological factors that significantly influence the trajectory of social reconstruction. The author argues that the post-World War I era witnessed unprecedented societal upheaval, with far-reaching consequences that continue to resonate in the present day. The pursuit of a comfortable life, the author posits, has become a primary motivator for social change. However, the author questions whether this relentless pursuit of comfort and convenience, as championed by 20th-century thought, will ultimately lead to genuine human fulfillment. The book presents an insightful psychological analysis of the forces driving social unrest and challenges readers to critically examine the assumptions underpinning their visions of a better world. Through the lens of psychology, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the complexities involved in social reconstruction, emphasizing the interplay between human nature and the social order. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
