Showing 1-1 of 1
“It may be well here to sum up, in the fewest possible words, the conclusions reached in this book:
(I) That our present so called "Civilisation" is only a "manner of speaking," and is in fact quite a rude state as compared with what may already be foreseen.
(2) That the basis of any real morality must be the sense of Kinship between all living beings.
(3) That there can be no abiding national welfare until the extremes of Wealth and Poverty are abolished.
(4) That Warfare will not be discontinued until we have ceased to honour soldiering as heroic.
(5) That the Rights of Animals have henceforth to be considered; and that such practices as cruel sports, vivisection, and flesh eating are not compatible with civilised life.
(6) That Free Thought is essential to progress, and that the religion of the future will be a belief in a Creed of Kinship, a charter of human and sub-human relationships.”
