The Ideal Of Humanity And Universal Federation (1900)

The Ideal of Humanity and Universal Federation is a philosophical treatise written by Karl Christian Friedrich Krause and first published in 1900. In this book, Krause presents his vision of a unified world community based on the principles of reason, morality, and spirituality. He argues that humanity is capable of achieving this ideal state through the cultivation of individual and collective virtue, as well as through the establishment of a universal federation of nations.Krause's philosophy is grounded in a belief in the inherent dignity and worth of every human being, and he advocates for a society that values and respects this fundamental principle. He argues that the pursuit of self-interest and material gain is ultimately self-defeating, and that true happiness and fulfillment can only be found through the cultivation of virtue and the pursuit of higher ideals.Throughout the book, Krause draws on a wide range of philosophical and religious traditions, including German idealism, Christianity, and Buddhism, to support his arguments. He also engages with contemporary debates in politics and social theory, offering a compelling vision of a more just and harmonious world order.Overall, The Ideal of Humanity and Universal Federation is a thought-provoking and insightful work of philosophy that continues to resonate with readers today. It offers a compelling vision of a more just and equitable society, and challenges us to consider what it means to be truly human in a rapidly changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
