Publisher's Synopsis
""Oracles On Man and Government"" is a collection of essays written by John Morley, a prominent British statesman and philosopher, in the late 19th century. The book explores various themes related to human nature, politics, and society, drawing on Morley's extensive knowledge of history, literature, and philosophy.The essays cover a wide range of topics, including the nature of freedom, the role of the state, the importance of education, and the challenges of modernity. Morley argues that individuals have a natural desire for freedom and autonomy, but that this must be balanced against the need for social order and cooperation. He also discusses the importance of education in fostering individual growth and development, and the role of government in ensuring that all citizens have access to education and other basic necessities.Throughout the book, Morley emphasizes the importance of reason, tolerance, and open-mindedness in political and social discourse. He argues that these qualities are essential for creating a just and equitable society, and that they are particularly important in an era of rapid technological and social change.Overall, ""Oracles On Man and Government"" provides a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of some of the key issues facing modern society, and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of political thought or the challenges of contemporary politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
