The Kingdom of the Unselfish: Or The Empire of the Wise is a book written by John Lord Peck and published in 1889. The book is a philosophical treatise that explores the concept of unselfishness and its impact on society. Peck argues that a society built on unselfishness would be more harmonious and prosperous than one built on selfishness.The book is divided into two parts. The first part explores the nature of unselfishness and its relationship to wisdom. Peck argues that unselfishness is the foundation of true wisdom and that a wise person is one who acts for the benefit of others rather than for their own selfish interests.The second part of the book explores the practical implications of unselfishness for society. Peck argues that a society built on unselfishness would be characterized by cooperation, mutual support, and a focus on the common good. He contrasts this with a society built on selfishness, which he argues would be characterized by competition, conflict, and a focus on individual gain at the expense of others.Overall, The Kingdom of the Unselfish is a thought-provoking exploration of the role of unselfishness in creating a better society. It is a book that challenges readers to consider the importance of acting for the benefit of others and to think critically about the values that underpin our social structures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
