The Ghosts Of Robespierre

MAN'S ENDLESS MARCH TO REALIZATION

"After an age of anxiety, despair, and nihilism, it seems possible once more to HOPE—to have confidence again in man, and in the future.

If we decide to live, it must be because we have decided that our personal existence has some positive value; if we decide to rebel, it must be because we have decided that a human society has some positive value.

But in each case the values are not "given"—that is the illusionist trick played by religion or by philosophy. They have to be deduced from the conditions of living, and are to be accepted along with the suffering entailed by the limits of the possible.

Social values are rules of conduct implicit in a tragic fate; and they offer a hope of creation. — Sir Herbert Read
