It is tinged with Tolstoyan ideals of non-resistance but based on practical rather than on religious grounds. While the book is alive with spirituality, religion is generally ignored. It is the downfall of science that wounds him to the quick. "The degrada- tion of science from its high function in ameliorating the lot of man is one of the most painful aspects of this war. Knowledge with elevation of mind is the chief instrument of human progress; knowledgew ithout elevation of mind easily beco...mes devilish, and increases the wounds which man inflicts on man. " But he cannot believe that war is under all circumstances a crime. He divides wars into four classes, of which one, "Wars of Prestige, " is never justified. At the same time he pleads for experimenting with the idea of non-resistance. Not unlike Thomson, he would replace the pride of military glory with a nobler pride. Nevertheless he thinks the majority of mankind is right in rejecting Quaker or Tolstoyan doctrines. In a somewhat despairing spirit, he agrees that the blood lust is instinctive.
