The Nations At War: The Birth Of A New Era (1914)

ℹ️ "A HUNDRED years ago, the last general European war effected the overthrow of a militarydespotism. Great expectations were then formed of the dawn of a new era; they came to nothing, owing to the blunders or crimes of the victors. To-day a similar conflict is occurring, similar hopes are aroused. Many confidently predict that such hopes will be once more falsified; they despair of the future of the race, and give full rein to their pessimism. But that pessimism is unjustified. In the last century, mankind has made some progress; the democracy in every land has learned something of its power. That power can be used for good, and will be so used, if the many do not despair of themselves. The allies can be forced to remain true to the high ideals which they have professed; their victory may be the dawn of a brighter era. Unless mankind has lived in vain, that dawn is certain. It will be hastened in proportion as optimism prevails over pessimism, in proportion as the many are convinced of their ability to ensure that the progress of mankind shall not be again interrupted. It is the purpose of this book to show what are the possibilities of good in the present war, what will be the characteristics of that new era to which it will give birth. If it does something to increase the determination of the many to eliminate those factors, which in the past have led to war, it will not have been written in vain." (Preface)

The Interpretation Of History (1915)

ℹ️ "As its title may indicate, this book is an attempt to discover some miderlying factor, in accordance with which History may be interpreted and the occurrence of all events explained. Of the ambitious nature of this attempt I am fully conscious, but it appears to be well worth making, and any apology for having made it would savour of insincerity.

Chapters I to V contain a statement of the theory that the factor is to be found in the existence of a mental conflict as to the means by which happiness is to be attained, between the idea that content is to be found in complete submission, "Universalism", or in complete self-assertion, "Individualism". It is argued that this conflict determines the conduct both of individuals and of those associations of individuals which form nations.

Chapters VI to XI endeavour to show how far this theory is justified by the past history of Europe and of England, and in Chapter XII an attempt is made to interpret the tendencies of the present day."
