Evolution And The War Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Evolution and the War This little book is based on three lectures on "Evolution and War," given at the Royal Institution in February, 1915. The lectures were delivered orally, with the assistance of notes, and as soon as possible afterwards I wrote out what I had said, rearranging the matter in a form more suitable for reading, and adding some details for which I had no time at the lectures. I have also made fuller reference to contemporary events than was permitted by the custom of the Institution. Although the lectures would not have been given but for the war, the ideas that underlie them are not a by-product of current politics. The points of resemblance and difference between nations and species I discussed, on similar lines, in an article published in The North American Review in October, 1904. In the account of race and nationality, given in Chapter III, I have followed in broad outline the facts that Professor Ripley has presented so lucidly in The Races of Europe. In a strictly anthropological discussion, many minor considerations, some of them dealt with by Dr. Ripley himself, others raised by other anthropologists and ethnologists, would have to be reviewed.

Excerpt from Evolution and the Need of Atonement As the title indicates, the main object of this book is not to offer a new theory of the Atonement. Rather it is intended to Show that when the origin and history of man are studied from the scientific, and especially the biological side, the spiritual life, its partial failure, and the need for Atonement, far from receding into vagueness and unreality, are thrown into strong relief.

Excerpt from War and the Breed the Relation of War to the Downfall of Nations This book is written to show the relation of war to the downfall of nations. The certainty that war leads toward racial decadence by the obliteration of the most virile elements, these being thereby left unrepresented in heredity, is becoming widely accepted as the crucial argument against the War System of the world, standing second only to the final argument of the human conscience that murder remains murder even when done on a gigantic scale under the sanction of the state and the blessing of the church. The same topic is treated in two previous essays, the one originally delivered at Stanford University in 1899 and reprinted by the World Peace Foundation under the title The Blood of the Nation; the other read at Philadelphia in 1906, before the American Philosophical Society, at the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Franklin, and bearing the title The Human Harvest. This last is published by the Beacon Press of Boston. The present volume has been entirely rewritten. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Through War to Peace: A Study of the Great War as an Incident in the Evolution of Society There is a growing sentiment in this country that what Germany has come to stand for is utterly irreconcilable with all those acquisitions of human society freedom, democracy, hu manity, Christianity which we most prize; that it represents a grave menace to them all. This sentiment, with its attendant foreboding, I believe to be substantially correct, so that it will bear examination in the light of reason and science. I think it can be shown that the Ger man code of international behavior constitutes a direct and grave challenge to the essentials of civilization; that it is a reversion toward an earlier and cruder phase of societal development; and that it must be extirpated if civilization is to go forward on its course.
