Two Orations Against Taking Away Human Life: Under Any Circumstances, And In Explanation And Defense, Of The Misrepresented Doctrine Of Non-Resistance is a book written by Thomas Cooper in 1846. The book consists of two speeches given by Cooper on the topic of non-violence and non-resistance. In the first speech, Cooper argues against the taking of human life under any circumstances, including in war, self-defense, and capital punishment. He asserts that all life is sacred and that violence only begets more violence. In the second speech, Cooper defends the doctrine of non-resistance, which advocates for peaceful resistance to oppression and injustice, rather than violent revolt. He argues that non-resistance is not a passive acceptance of tyranny, but rather a powerful tool for social change. Throughout the book, Cooper draws on his own experiences as a political activist and educator to make his case for non-violence and non-resistance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
