Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The True Philosophy of Mind
MY object in the following essays will be to show that we are creatures of education, and consequently should be charitable to each other, no two on earth having the same organization or being impressed with the same circumstances or objects, which make up, through life, our honest and unavoidable convictions. For the want of this knowledge, man has ever been the greatest enemy of man. Yes, from the intolerance and inhumanity of man to man countless millions have bled and died. Look back through mouldering ages at the hills of slain and the rivers of blood caused by men's difference of opinion, and we must grant a wrong, a sad and grievous wrong, in the hearts of men. All history of our race will testify that not only the crusades, but that the persecutions, as well as the wars of nation against nation, have arisen from a false view of religion. Yes, fanaticism, bigotry, and human idolatry have been at the bottom of it all.
