On State And Religion

By Richard Wagner

Book Overview

""On State and Religion"" is a collection of essays and writings by the famous composer Richard Wagner. In this book, Wagner explores the relationship between the state and religion, examining the role of religion in society and the ways in which it can either support or undermine the power of the state. He also discusses the importance of art and culture in shaping the values and beliefs of a society, and the ways in which they can be used to promote social and political change. Throughout the book, Wagner presents a vision of a society in which religion, art, and politics are all interconnected, and in which each plays a vital role in shaping the values and beliefs of the people. This book is a fascinating exploration of the complex relationship between religion, politics, and culture, and is sure to be of interest to anyone interested in these topics.The line my fancy followed was an organisation of public life in common, as also of domestic life, such as must lead of itself to a beauteous fashioning of the human race. The calculations of the newer Socialists therefore lost my sympathy from the moment they seemed to end in systems that took at first the repellent aspect of an organisation of Society for no other purpose but an equally-allotted toil. (3) However, after sharing the horror which this aspect kindled in aesthetically-cultured minds, (4) a deeper glance into the proposed condition of society made me believe I detected something very different from what had hovered before the fancy of those calculating Socialists themselves.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
