A bold defense of non-violence as the path to true civilization. It argues that warfare and killing are wrong, and that truth, lived in everyday action, can prevail without force.

This edition presents Thomas Cooper’s two orations from 1846, delivered to working-class audiences in London. It links the fight for humane treatment of dissenters and political exiles with a broader call for moral resistance, rather than force, as the engine of social change.

- Examine the idea that true civilization rests on moral steadiness rather than bloodshed.
- Explore the author’s shift from earlier views on violence to a philosophy of non-resistance and brotherhood.
- See how political reform, social justice, and personal action are connected in a call to practical philanthropy.
- Consider how historical debates about militia, war, and rights are framed for a modern readership.

Ideal for readers interested in 19th‑century reform movements, Chartist history, and discussions of ethics and social change.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a historical and philosophical examination of the concept of human life and its value, as viewed through the lens of morality and the concept of universal brotherhood. The author, a prominent orator and Chartist, explores the complex and often contradictory ideas surrounding the taking of human life in self-defense, weaving together insightful commentary with compelling rhetoric. The book delves into the nuances of personal responsibility, the limits of self-preservation, and the broader implications of violence in society. Through a mix of argumentation and personal anecdotes, the author challenges conventional justifications for war and capital punishment, advocating instead for a radical commitment to non-violence and compassion. This book is a profound meditation on the nature of human existence, offering a thought-provoking exploration of the ethical complexities of life and death in a world striving toward peace and harmony.
