Excerpt from Human Submission
There is nothing that a religious philosopher keeps at such a distance as the actual facts of life. But while these philosophers go their way ignoring the actual and indeed very ignorant of it, the people are going their way and leaving philosophers to their little artificial world of old texts, desks, and lecture rooms, and they are making up their own minds about 'god' and religion, a very different mind from what the scholastic thinkers would like them to have. Yet the main light on whatever god there may be is not thrown by the nature of Being, of which the philosophers are so competent to speak, nor by the nature of Consciousness, but by the things happening to men every day in this sphere of god's power and love. And knowing full well the commiseration I shall inspire in philosophers for thinking of these mere events and drawing deductions from them, I lay them down as the First Principles from which any theory of the universe must be drawn. If we eliminate consciousness from the universe I do not know of what consequence its existence is, and if consciousness is the greatest thing, the way this universe uses every conscious being is our test of the universe.
When these facts are presented to the philosopher he will be contented by saying, "but suffering is not the only postulate whence our moral nature starts; it is also the discipline through which it gains its true elevation."

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the concept of human submission, a rarely explored yet fundamental principle in the history of humankind. The author argues that submission, not just to authority but also to the very idea of servitude, has been the defining force shaping human society for millennia. Drawing parallels between human behavior and the slave-making instincts of certain ant species, the book demonstrates how this ingrained tendency to submit has led to the perpetuation of social hierarchies and the suppression of intellectual and moral progress. The author critiques the dominant social structures, including religion, philosophy, and ethics, which he asserts have been built upon and reinforced by this principle of submission. He argues that these structures have historically served to justify and maintain the dominance of the powerful over the weak, resulting in widespread exploitation and oppression. The book offers a powerful and provocative analysis of the deep-seated patterns of human submission and their profound impact on the course of history, challenging readers to re-examine their own assumptions about social order and individual responsibility. 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. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331362005_0
