Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Original Poetry: On Sentimental, Theological, Moral, and Political Subjects The age of genuine philosophy is, by many, presumed to be approaching on the world, when the great community will no longer "see through a glass darkly," but, with an eagle eye, they will penetrate into the mysteries of perpetuated delusion; and then, comparing the practice of the present with former ages of the world, they will discover but slender reasons for congratulation in the advantages derived by the present civilised age. The accumulated mass of antiquated, and, erroneously termed, sound philosophy, concocted from the rubbish held sacred by the fraud of the few over the weakness of the many, will some day be developed, when the bubble will burst, and the night-mare will pass away and no more be seen to afflict the world; and then will be found, when mankind first entered into civilised society, that their intentions, in binding themselves to certain laws and regulations, were not to support exclusive rights and privileges to any peculiar orders of the human race at the expense and destitution of the great bulk of society, but for the protection and mutual interest of each and every member indiscriminately. Had not this been the only purpose and intention of the Original Social Contract, then would it have been reasonable to conclude that the great majority of mankind would have felt disposed to relinquish any part of their natural rights. The surrender, therefore, must have been to have returned to them a more valuable consideration than in a mere state of nature they could hope to enjoy.
