A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Hence it was that when the war came to an abrupt end and the demand for selfsacrifice and service ceased or seemed to cease, the lower desires and passions, being suddenly freed from the curbing pressure of the higher, developed an almost unparalleled energy and impatience of restraint. Meanwhile the normal restraining influences had been further weakened by the social and political consequences of the war. The social and political regime which prevailed in most civilized countries in pre-war days, though democratic in outward form, was still largely feudal in spirit. But feudalism may be said to have committed suicide when Germany, the most highly feudalized of all countries, made its bid for world-power and fell; and there was nothing ready to take its place. We are passing through an epoch of transition in which much of what we had got to regard as fixed and immutable has gone into the melting-pot, with the result that the directing and controlling force of tradition and custom is weaker than it has ever been. No wonder, then, that the end of the war, with its sudden relaxation of an almost intolerable tension and the sudden cessation of its call for heroism and high adventure, was followed by a period of widespread demoralization as well as of political anarchy and social unrest.1 This state of things is still with 1T he demoralization of the civilized world is the resultant of many causes. I have indicated one of them.
