Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

75 pp. No jacket. Foreword by "J.N.M.", Moore's wife. Frontispiece: black and white photo-portrait of white-bearded Moore and young boy. Contents: "To the Student Liberal Club of Harvard"; "The Philosophy of Charity"; "The Blame and Praise Argument Continued"; "The Philosophy of War"; "Purpose"; "Letter to a Well Known Educator"; "Letter to Harvard College"; "Correspondence with Herbert Hoover"; "The Science of Economics"; TheEthics of Debate"; "To the Invalid"; "Reserve Vitality"; "To the . . . School Boys"; "The Universe (To the . School Boys)"; "To Woodrow Wilson"; "The Tobacco Habit"; "To a Reformer"; "Taboos"; "Progress Versus Perfection"; "A Conception of Spirit nd Matter". From a letter to his son, cited in the Foreword: "A faith in the wisdom and love of God causes me to believe that there are things called evil in human society are due to human selfishness and ignorance, or both, and experience of their effects are needed stimulants to progress towards love and wisdom . . . the time will come when force, as expressed in warfare or police compulsion, will not be needed in our society after causes of selfishness and ignorance have been outgrown; but the experiences of their consequences are a necessary education to produce that result. / Some of us already see that the present chaos is forcing us to understand that our earth must, sooner or later, adopt a reign of universal law, resulting in Tennyson's vision: "Till the war-drum throbbed no longer and the / battle flags were furled / In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the world." Medium blue cloth with light blue affixed paper title box on spine for medium blue lettering. Book has a few pages at outset that appear once read, if that, else unread: spine still essentially as tight as published; sharp corners; NO rubbing wear; NO previous owner names. Clean text. Remarkable condition for a book printed more than 80 years ago. The way to read a Period Classic that presages our contemporary world. Gift-giving quality or look for new friends.
