Excerpt from Americanism, What It IsThis whole conception of life is based upon the significance of the individual, but the latest, if not the prevailing, fashion of thought is, to speak slightingly of the individual, -of his rights, of his capacities, and of his responsibilities. We are at present seeking progress, not through a develop ment of the individual, but through what society as a whole can do for itself, forgetting that society is a purely abstract idea, possessing no inherent power either of initiative or of achievement. Yet it has become almost a reproach to stand for the rights of the individual, who is the only motive power that society possesses.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
