Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Human Ideals This book was thought out and partly written before the war began. I have held it back for some months, considering that the minds of most readers would be too much occupied to pay attention to any far-reaching schemes of reform. But now perhaps the time for publishing is come; for people are beginning to think more seriously what they must do so as to re-establish and re-organise society on juster and more humane principles when peace comes at last. The problems with which I have dealt, though arising out of the conditions of European civilisation prior to the war, will remain to be solved when the war is ended. For this reason I have not altered what I have written in any fundamental respect. Indeed, these problems will demand a solution even more urgently.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ideal of Humanity: In Old Times and New Jove is not Jove merely as a strong launcher of the thunderbolt, but as the assertor of justice, the avenger of perjury, and the pro tector of innocence. Nay, so far is mere special greatness of any description from giving a man claim to the praise of a truly great man, that, as we daily see, there is a strong tendency in the cultivation of any prominent specialty to defraud the other capacities that belong to a well-accoutred human creature, and to disturb the balance of his manhood. Thus it happens that the strong point in a man's professional exercise becomes a weakness in his human character his favourite virtue, like a pampered child, becomes his prominent weakness; the ex aggerated presentment of one feature destroys the fair proportions, in which the beauty of an aesthetical whole consist's and in this way your mere lawyer, for instance, becomes an expert intellectual fencer, your mere poet a blower of splendid soap-bubbles or a colourist of clouds, and your mere parson a bundle of sacerdotal conceit. Let us say, therefore, that a great man is a man who, while in the exercise of his special capacity soaring as high above common men as an eagle above a barn-door fowl, is deficient in no function that makes a man a man. He is in all things essentially and broadly human, and achieves in the exercise of his one special talent the highest excellence, as Shakespeare did in the drama, only by the social atmosphere which he breathes, and the human sympathies which he cultivates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America's International Ideals For ages the race has been struggling toward what we somewhat vaguely call civilization. This struggle has meant the gradual realization of certain fundamental desires and needs of the human spirit, the attainment of which was always thought of as involving a social order in which the individual would be given larger and larger opportunities for the achievement of those ideals which alone give value to his life. For the realization of this social order, not only the great leaders of men, but the masses have thought and toiled and sacrificed and died ever since man began to lift himself above the blind instincts of the brute. Nor has this ideal social order been merely an undefined dream. Gradually, as mankind has grown more self-conscious, it has gained definite ness, until it has been seen to involve the supremacy of certain principles without which any permanent civilization is impossible. The race learns by long and arduous experience: and the emerging of these principles themselves into the mere thoughts of what might some day be is a long and fascinating story, for which we have no time here. The great truth to be made apparent is this: these indispensable principles of human welfare have nowhere been more speedily or more fully realized than in the social and political institutions of the Ameri can people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Renaissance of the Greek Ideal The modern human being has drifted so far away in physical form from the Greek as to fail to realise the differences. These differences, however, are not organic, but are in all probability the result of early training. I myself began as an ordinarily active human being, but, in the course of training, development, researches, and discoveries, gradually acquired a knowledge that led to a condition which is nearer to that of the Greeks than any other that has yet been achieved.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Some of Life's Ideals: On a Certain Blindness in Human Beings; What Makes a Life Significant We are practical beings, each of us with limited functions and duties to perform. Each is bound to feel intensely the importance of his own duties and the significance of the situations that call these forth. But this feeling is in each of us a vital secret, for sympathy with which we vainly look to others. The others are too much absorbed in their own vital secrets to take an interest in ours. Hence the stupidity and injustice of our opinions, so far as they deal with the significance of alien lives. Hence the falsity of our judgments, so far as they presume to decide in an absolute way on the value of other persons' conditions or ideals.

Download or read book The Control of Ideals written by Van Wesep and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-07-28 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Control of Ideals: A Contribution to the Study of Ethics The book falls into two parts: the first section takes up the origin, nature, and function of human ideals; the later chapters develop a theory of the supreme worth of the individual and of human life. This theory does not involve acceptance of any of the recent variants of socialism or anarchy. I have worked ahead on the well-established basis of in dividualism. As a contribution to ethics, this book represents an attempt at a fresh approach to some old problems. The aim has been to limit the discussion to funda mental issues connected with the prevention of war. Abstruse and hackneyed terms peculiar to ethics or economics have been avoided, as the book is intended to appeal first of all to the average intelligent reader with no special training in technical terminology. The book is not a complete practical ethics nor a metaphysics of ethics. It calls for a further state ment on the detailed application of the principles laid down - a task which, however, is outside the scope of this short work.

The aim of politics should be to make the lives of individuals as good as possible. There is nothing for the politician to consider outside or above the various men, women, and children who compose the world. The problem of politics is to adjust the relations Of human beings in such a way that each severally may have as much of good in his existence as possible. And this problem requires that we should first consider what it is that we think good in the individual life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Ideals, Vol. 1: A Study of Intellectual and Spiritual Growth From Early Times to the Establishment of Christianity The present work is an attempt to treat human develop ment from the standpoint of the ideals of the different races, as these ideals disclose themselves in the art and literature, in the philosophy and religion, and in the conduct and political fortunes of each race. It has been my endeavor to preserve a unity of plan in setting forth the part taken by each race in the human drama. I have sought to make clear the nature of the contribution made by each to the stages of human growth reached before the Christian era; and to indicate in what respects these contributions became permanent elements of hu manity and thus elements of its further possibilities, possibilities that find in Christianity perfect conditions for their final realization.

Download or read book Tacitus and Some Roman Ideals Classic Reprint written by Jefferson Elmore and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tacitus and Some Roman Ideals So far I have spoken of Tacitus in his relation to certain current ideas, which gave little opportunity for original thought. Let us now turn for a moment to his treatment of matters of more immediate experience, and first of all his observation of human character. In this field he suffered from a drawback which I think has not been sufficiently emphasized: I mean his adherence to the Stoic philosophy as a practical scheme of life. Its great object, tranquility of mind in the midst of the evils of the world, which it sought to secure by making reason the supreme guide, put it ever on guard against the disturbing in u ences of passion and pleasure. Its tendency was to sup press or ignore the whole emotional part of human nature. Stoicism thus, as Renan has somewhere remarked, declared war on life except in the one domain of duty. Now as a protection of the individual against the assaults of evil, this method has proved its worth both in ancient and modern times, but as a preparation for observing and understanding the world it has the defect of narrowing the vision. If one feels bound to hold himself morally aloof from certain things as dangerous or wrong, he will have little intellectual interest in them, or little power of imagination to understand them; indeed, true compre hension of certain phases of experience is possible only to those who have actually participated in them.
