Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Saint George, Vol. 11: A National Review Dealing With Literature, Art, Education, and Social Questions in a Broad and Progressive Spirit Though most criticism is based upon some standard of convention, the instincts of humanity in general - instincts, I mean, as opposed to education - acclaim the incompetence of convention to fulfil all requirements; for men secretly honour all who outdare custom, even though they fear and often ridicule them. And we are able to judge by convention only so long as the person judged claims subservience to our conventions. If he do not, there remains no sane judgment wherewith to judge him. What can one know of ethics in Mars when he is ignorant of its indigenous habits? How shall one judge of manners in Mile End, if he do not share its discontent with the cultured world? How can one weigh merit even in Mayfair homes, when he can but envy, not emulate, their comfortable morality?
