A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

No doubt, we have always had our authorities ready to spare us the trouble of search, ready to settle ext cathedra what human nature is and ought to become. And presumably we have always had a party of revolt against authority, convention, and the like, in the name of what is natural, a revolt which has commonly been as dogmatic and intuitional as the authority itself. But the revolt of today is no longer either impressionistic or sporadic. It is psychological, economic, political: and it is general. The explosive forces of self-assertion which have finally burst their bounds in the political life of Central Europe have their seat in a widespread spiritual rebellion, a critical impatience of established sentiments and respectabilities, a deliberate philosophic rejection not more of Hagne Conventions than of other conventions, a drastic judgment of non-reality upon the pieties of Christendom. This rebellion would hardly have become so widespread or so disastrous if it were wholly without ground. It indicates that our moral idealisms like our metaphysical idealisms have been taking their task too complacently. Our Western world has adhered to standards with which it has never supposed its practice to be in accord; but heaving a resigned sigh over the erring tendencies of human nature, it has offered to these standards that of course variety of homage which is the beginning of mental and moral coma.

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.
