John Badcock, Jr.

An eloquent, well argued essay by an English libertarian and free-thinker. Badcock writes: “So long as the superstition that there is any ought or duty by which conduct should be regulated, has a hold over the minds of men and women, so long will those people be incapable of appreciating the full value of existence; and their living powers will run to waste while they grovel in the altruistic mire of self- denial. Only when that superstition is abandoned is the mind really emancipated. Only then is the individual free to rise to the highest experience which his or her nature is capable.” With an introduction by S. E. Parker, and, as an appendix, an essay, “Egoism,” by J. B. Robinson.
