Om Civilisation, Its Cause and Cure

In this book, the American philosopher Edward Carpenter reassesses the meaning of civilization and its role in the development of humanity and morality.

Edward Carpenter was an English socialist poet, socialist philosopher, anthologist, and early gay activist. As a philosopher he is particularly known for his publication of Civilisation, Its Cause and Cure in which he proposes that civilisation is a form of disease that human societies pass through.
