Excerpt from Political Ideals: An Essay The thesis I propose to maintain is that modern politics is governed by the conceptions men have of a state of things which would be better than the present. It is my first purpose, therefore, to dis cover the meaning of some of those conceptions.

As we use the mechanical inventions of the past so we are influenced by what the past thought desirable.
