By J. Shield Nicholson

Book Overview

Historical Progress And Ideal Socialism is a book written by Joseph Shield Nicholson and first published in 1894. The book explores the relationship between historical progress and the ideal of socialism. Nicholson argues that socialism is not just a political and economic system, but a vision of a better society based on equality and justice. He examines the historical development of socialism, from the early Christian communities to the modern socialist movements of the late 19th century.Nicholson also critiques the existing economic and political systems of his time, arguing that they are based on inequality and exploitation. He proposes that socialism offers a more equitable and just alternative, based on the principles of cooperation and mutual aid.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a historical overview of socialism, while the second part explores the practical implications of socialist ideals for contemporary society. Nicholson's arguments are grounded in a deep understanding of economic theory and political philosophy, making the book a valuable resource for scholars and students of these fields.Overall, Historical Progress And Ideal Socialism is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the relationship between historical progress and the ideal of socialism. It offers a compelling argument for the need to create a more equitable and just society, and provides a roadmap for achieving this goal.An Evening Discourse Delivered To The British Association At Oxford In The Sheldonian Theater, 13th August 1894.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
