To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We have based our life on the principle of the struggle for ex- istence. Tempered with many amenities from our natural humane impulses as well as from the teachings of ethics and of religion, we have nevertheless held by the principle of the utmost possible for ourselves in the competitive struggle of the world as the main- spring of our life's endeavor. But the old world of competition and war, from which Darwin deduced the doctrine of the survival of the strongest, doubtless with all truth an...d accuracy, has become impossible. The struggle for existence may have obtained once, and it may be all right for tigers still, but as a philosophy of the men of the future, it is branded by the light of the flaming ruins of Europe as a doctrine of hell. If that is human nature, we must change it. If that is the world, the real and actual world of today, we must build a new world. It does not follow that a biologi- cal law which obtained in the era of the saurians must hold good when man has come to his dominion.
