Serving New Thought is pleased to present
Horatio W. Dresser's
Education and the Philosophical Ideal
"Evolution is better than Revolution.
New Thought Library's New Thought Archives encompass a full range of New Thought from Abrahamic to Vedic.
New Thought literature reflects the ongoing evolution of human thought.
New Thought's unique inclusion of science, art and philosophy presents a dramatic contrast with the magical thinking of decadent religions
that promulgate supersticions standing in the way of progress to shared peace and prosperity."

learn the evolutionary origin of the tendencies in us which we call evil. On the other hand, the problem is half solved when we understand the meaning of pain, and how by attaining health and equanimity we may avoid it. The remaining half of the solution is found only in the solution of the social problem. For the problem of evil is inextricably blended with all the problems of social regeneration and reform. We have all evolved together, we all share in our animal inheritance, and we must together find freedom from this inheritance through the social cultivation of our higher nature. Thus the social problem becomes the problem par excellence which the educated man is called upon to solve. Upon this question he must bring to bear all his learning, all his wisdom, all the training which the struggle for self-expression has brought him. And than shall his existence be most fully justified, for it is this necessity which above all others furnishes an opportunity for service, and thus in turn evil itself finds its fullest justification.
