Publisher's summary

Most philosophers of history have been apologists excusing the rights of the elite, the privileged, the priests, and the kings - the rights of the king to wage war, the rights of the property owners to rule their tenants, the rights of the priests to pardon sins, and the rights of the lords to create laws.

Philosophy is the foundation of all of societies' thoughts, and notions of the famous thinkers percolate out to the masses. Most of philosophy has been detrimental to society because it is not thought through. War is stupid, regardless of how many great thinkers think it good. Poverty is a stupid scourge to our society, regardless of it being regarded as a necessary evil. Crime is stupid behavior by stupid people and can certainly be abolished through proper policy and education.

This is a work of philosophy, but unlike historical philosophies, it does not give excuses for society as it is now, but gives plain and serious vision to how it can be.

In the world of the future, there will be no more war, no more crime, and no more poverty anywhere that men shall be.
