Synopsis
Excerpt from Men Versus the Man: A Correspondence Between Robert Rives La Monte, Socialist, and H. L. Mencken, Individualist
This book is precisely what it pretends to be: a series of letters between friends. They were writ ten because the general subject of the organization of society was one which vastly attracted both of us, and because a space of three hundred miles made a more intimate discussion impossible. Into them there went, not so much a learned review of the evidence and the prophets, as a record of per sonal, and often transient opinions and impressions. Changes of position are to be noticed in more than one place, but inasmuch as the purpose of each disputant was to shake the stand of the other, this proof of occasional success may be accepted, it is hoped, without impatience. It was thought best to print the letters without attempting to trans form their epistolary freedom into a more sedate dialectic manner. They offer few new contribu tions of either fact or theory to the great questions they presume to discuss, but it is possible that they may be of some interest as showing how variously the accepted facts and theories appear and appeal to two somewhat eager inquirers.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a series of letters between a socialist and a Nietzschean individualist. The socialist argues that a social revolution is inevitable due to increasing industrialization, growing productivity, and the widening gap between the purchasing power of workers and the value of goods produced. The individualist counters that the best possible world is one where aristocrats rule over the weak and incompetent, and that a socialistic ideal would lead to a degradation of society. The book explores the tensions between individualism and collectivism, the role of technology in shaping society, and the nature of progress. Ultimately, the book challenges readers to question their own beliefs about the best way to organize society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331323266_0
