Edward Carpenter

A Rational and Humane Science


[1883] Edward Carpenter, The Need of a Rational and Humane Science, A Lecture Delivered Before the Humanitarian Leauge by Edward Carpenter (London, 1896; Google Books: Online Library of Free Ebooks).

Man cannot find that unity of the Whole until he fells his unity with the Whole. To found a Science of one-ness on the murderous Warfare and insane competition of men with each other, and on the Slaughter and Vivisection of animals—is an absurdity, which can only in the long run reveal itself as such. (174)
