Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the idea that progression in human history is produced by antagonism. The author takes the view that the concept of antagonism is an absolute rule governing human moral conduct, operating in individuals, societies, and across all orders of life. The author begins wi…th an analysis of human nature, which, they argue, is composed of three primary and distinct elements: Mind (intellect), Spirit, and Sense (or the animal frame and its desires). The relative dominance of these three elements determines an individual's character and viewpoint. The author then expands this theory to the broader development of mankind, drawing an analogy between the growth of an individual and the growth of societies. This analogy serves as a key to understanding history, since it shows that progress occurs through the antagonism between different groups of people, each with their own partial perception of the truth. The author provides a detailed taxonomy of individuals based on the relative dominance of their three primary elements of human nature. They identify three broad classes: the Sensual, the Intellectual (subdivided into those inclined toward Imagination or Reason), and the Spiritual (subdivided into those inclined toward Mysticism or Rationalism). The book goes on to examine the development of different human societies and civilizations, arguing that each has its own unique "thought, principle, or tendency," and that the ultimate rank and position of a society in world history is determined by this tendency. The author argues that the most progressive societies are those that achieve a balance between Imagination and Reason, and that this balance is most fully realized in the Anglo-Norman English. Ultimately, the author concludes that the concept of antagonism as a general law of moral governance is essential for understanding the development of human societies and the progress of civilization.
