The analogy of nature, common sense, the experience of man kind, crystallized in proverbs, and all the digui fied and honored usage of our human societies ranged themselves on their side. And yet, we did not rest in the peace which they had made. Their contemporary, Garrison, the abolitionist, must have known that all these things were against him; he must have felt how harshly the strife he brought into our Republic of wel fare and opportunity broke in upon the soft music which ears like Choate's were harking for. Nevertheless, he went on: and soon there was war and death and mourning in the land. Some said that the outcome proved compromise a fail ure; more said, it was the fault of Garrison and of the other extremists on both sides. There was peace again, at last: a sure peace for the Republic; surer and deeper for some hundreds of' thousands of young men in blue and gray uniforms, mourned a while by their young wives and sweethearts, -mourned without ceasing by dim-eyed mothers. The end of compromise and the end of warfare were the same. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Arc of the Moral Universe and Other Essays written by Joshua Cohen and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of essays, Joshua Cohen locates ideas about democracy in three far-ranging contexts. First, he explores the relationship between democratic values and history. He then discusses democracy in connection with the views of defining political theorists in the democratic tradition: John Locke, John Rawls, Noam Chomsky, Juergen Habermas, and Susan Moller Okin. Finally, he examines the place of democratic ideals in a global setting, suggesting an idea of “global public reason”—a terrain of political justification in global politics in which shared reason still plays an essential role.All the essays are linked by his overarching claim that political philosophy is a practical subject intended to orient and guide conduct in the social world. Cohen integrates moral, social-scientific, and historical argument in order to develop this stance, and he further confronts the question of whether a society conceived in liberty and dedicated to equality can endure. At Gettysburg, President Lincoln forcefully stated the question and expressed both hope and concern over this same struggle about an affirmative answer. By enabling us to trace the arc of the moral universe, the essays in this volume—along with the companion collection, Philosophy, Politics, Democracy—give us some reasons for sharing that hope.

Download or read book Toleration and Other Essays Classic Reprint written by Voltaire and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Toleration and Other Essays IT seems useful, in presenting to English readers this selection of the works of Voltaire, to recall the position and personality of the writer and the circumstances in which the works were written. It is too lightly assumed, even by many who enjoy the freedom which he, more than any, won for Europe, and who may surpass him in scepticism, that Vol taire is a figure to be left in a discreetly remote niche of memory. Other times, other manners is one of the phrases he contributed to modern literature. Let us genially acknowledge that he played a great part in dispelling the last mists of the Middle Ages, and politely attribute to the papal perversity and the lingering vulgarity of his age the more effective features Of his work. Thus has Voltaire become a mere name to modern rational ists; a name of fading brilliance, a monumental name, but nothing more.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Faith and Unfaith: And Other Essays The seven essays in the present volume are all that I care to preserve (apart from "Biographical Sketches" already published in similar form) of my contributions to various Periodicals for some years past, I recognize that in addition to their own inherent defects of which none can be more aware than, they have no such link each with the other as had the parts of the previous volumes though to myself there appears a spiritual affinity in most of them in that they were the outcome of doubts and difficulties now at rest.
