Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from National and Social Problems This book - being an appeal to international morality and a plea for social regeneration - develops the principles laid down in two preceding works: the first, on religious belief; the second, on philosophic thought. In The Creed of a Layman I traced the growth of my own convictions from a theologic to a scientific Faith. In The Philosophy of Common Sense I dealt with the intellectual grounds on which a human religion must be based. The natural complement of these treatises is to show this system of philosophic religion in action. Let us observe its practical effect in moulding opinion on the great questions of Nations and of Society: on patriotism, international justice, government; and again, on problems of Wealth, of Labour, of Socialism. Theology, absorbed in matters of Worship and hopes of Heaven, has no call to meddle with earthly politics, to offer counsel to secular rulers, or to propound any scheme for reorganising society. Its kingdom is not of this world; and it seldom intrudes on worldly affairs without adding to the conflicts and the perplexities it finds. A human religion, on the other hand, is bound by its creed to preach a humane standard in politics, to work for a new earth, if it cannot promise a new heaven.
