Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the development of knowledge and improvement of society produce a ferment tending to separate humanity into two parts. One part is falling into numbness and barbarism, corrupting its morals and allowing improprieties to mar the progress of mankind. The other part is adhering to reason and equity, and ashamed of extravagance and irrationality. The author believes that a condition of happiness and harmony can be established for good men, and that the human race was originally destined for this great work. However, the author cautions that this cannot be accomplished without increased knowledge. The author presents a plan to elevate society based on the principles of reason and equity, a plan that will benefit every harmonious undertaking and unite spiritual and temporal into a perfect harmony. This book is a treatise on the perfectibility of mankind and a blueprint for achieving it through an all-encompassing and just social system.
