Book Overview

Skepticism and Social Justice is a book written by Thomas Horlock Bastard and originally published in 1877. The book explores the relationship between skepticism and social justice, arguing that skepticism can play a crucial role in promoting social justice. Bastard begins by defining skepticism as a philosophical approach that emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and questioning assumptions. He argues that skepticism can be applied to social issues, such as poverty, inequality, and discrimination, in order to challenge the status quo and promote positive change. The book then delves into various topics related to social justice, including the role of government in promoting equality, the importance of education and social reform, and the need for individual responsibility and accountability. Bastard also explores the intersection of skepticism and religion, arguing that a skeptical approach can help to challenge oppressive religious beliefs and promote tolerance and understanding. Throughout the book, Bastard draws on a wide range of philosophical, historical, and social examples to illustrate his points. He also engages with other thinkers and writers, including John Stuart Mill, Thomas Paine, and Charles Darwin. Overall, Skepticism and Social Justice is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the relationship between skepticism and social justice, and remains relevant to contemporary discussions about these important issues.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
