Civilisation: Its Cause And Cure And Other Essays is a collection of essays written by Edward Carpenter, a British philosopher, poet, and political activist. The book was first published in 1889 and has since become a classic in the field of social criticism. In this book, Carpenter explores the causes of the problems of modern civilization, such as poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation. He argues that these problems are rooted in the way we have organized our society and that we need to fundamentally change our values and priorities in order to create a more just and sustainable world. The essays in the book cover a wide range of topics, including the role of education in society, the importance of art and creativity, the relationship between humans and nature, and the need for a more spiritual and holistic approach to life. Carpenter's writing is characterized by his clear and passionate style, his deep concern for social justice and the environment, and his belief in the power of individual action to effect change. Overall, Civilisation: Its Cause And Cure And Other Essays is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that challenges readers to think critically about the world around them and to work towards creating a more just and sustainable society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
