Excerpt from The Degradation of the Democratic Dogma
Before submitting the following pages to the public, I have a few words to say, lest my purpose should be misunderstood. I want to make it clear, once for all, that I am not proposing to write anything approaching to a memoir of my brother. He has written his memoirs for himself. For me to try to improve on them would be superfluous, not to say impertinent. Nor do I suggest any criticism of his essays which are annexed. These I have long thought unanswerable. With their conclusions I fully agree. I have no further comment to make.
I am attempting something quite different from this. I am seeking to tell the story of a movement in thought which has, for the last century, been developing in my family, and which closes with the "Essay on Phase," which ends this volume.
At this particular juncture of human affairs the tendency is very strong throughout the world to deify the democratic dogma, and to look to democracy to accomplish pretty promptly some approach to a millennium among men.
