Synopsis
Stressing the connection between our behaviour towards each other, and our treatment of non-human species, the selections in this sourcebook uphold the conviction that no solution to the problem of human violence is possible until we accept the underlying unity of life, and what this unity, this kinship, demands of the human species. They explore the environmental conscience, making the case for a more holistic compassion and for more educational systems. At the same time they make a case for acknowledging the rights of other creatures, irrespective of consequential benefit to ourselves. Addison, Browning, da Vinci, Dostoevsky, Gandhi, Hardy, Murdoch, Sagan, Schweitzer, Shaw, Thoreau, Tolstoy, Wordsworth and Zola are among those people quoted. The book is suitable for the general reader as well as for students and teachers of humane education.

The Extended Circle: A Dictionary of Humane Thought
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
