Description

""The Religion of Socialism: Further Essays in Modern Socialist Criticism"" is a collection of essays written by Ernest Belfort Bax, a British socialist and philosopher, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book explores the relationship between socialism and religion, arguing that socialism is itself a kind of religion. Bax argues that socialism provides a moral framework for social and political action, and that it offers a vision of a better world that is similar to religious visions of heaven or paradise. The essays also critique various aspects of modern socialism, including its relationship to the state, its approach to individual freedom, and its treatment of gender and sexuality. Overall, ""The Religion of Socialism"" is a thought-provoking examination of the intersection of politics and religion, and a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate about the role of socialism in contemporary society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
