About this book

In an era marked by rapid industrialization and social upheaval, Edward Carpenter's "Civilisation: Its Cause and Cure; and Other Essays" offers a profound critique of societal constructs. This thought-provoking collection delves into the paradox of progress, arguing that civilization may be a malady rather than a triumph. Carpenter challenges readers to reconsider the implications of unalienable rights and the moral fabric of society, urging a return to more natural ways of living. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this work invites a deep reflection on the values that underpin modern life. Discover how Carpenter's insights resonate with contemporary debates on freedom and social justice, as he navigates the complexities of human existence in a changing world.
