Eugenics and Other Evils: Special Edition – hinnat ja saatavuus

G. K. Chesterton was an early critic of the philosophy of eugenics, expressing this opinion in his book, Eugenics and Other Evils. Its advocates regarded eugenics as a social philosophy for the improvement of human hereditary traits through various forms of intervention. Today it is widely regarded as a brutal movement which inflicted massive human rights violations on millions of people. HIs criticism of Eugenics expands into a more general criticism of a modern craze for scientific officialism and strict social organization. Chesterton's writings consistently displayed wit and a sense of humour. He employed paradox, while making serious comments on the world, government, politics, economics, philosophy, theology and many other topics.
