About the book

In «A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil,» Jane Addams boldly confronts the persistent scourge of war and its moral implications in a rapidly changing society. Through a poignant blend of personal narrative, social critique, and philosophical inquiry, Addams unearths the complexities and contradictions inherent in human conscience as it grapples with the devastation wrought by conflict. Her literary style, characterized by its clarity and emotional resonance, situates the book within the Progressive Era's discourse on social reform, where she underscores the need for a collective moral awakening as a response to violence and injustice. Jane Addams, a pioneering social reformer and co-founder of Hull House, was deeply influenced by her experiences in urban Chicago, where she witnessed firsthand the consequences of industrialization and social disparity. Her profound commitment to social justice, pacifism, and feminism emerged from her pragmatic engagement with society's challenges, making her uniquely qualified to address the themes of conscience and morality in a time marked by two World Wars. Her insights reflect a lifetime of activism aimed at cultivating peace and understanding amidst societal turmoil. Readers seeking a profound examination of the moral dilemmas surrounding war will find «A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil» to be an essential text. Addams offers not only a critique but also a hopeful vision for a more compassionate world. Her profound insights remain pertinent today, inviting readers to reflect deeply on their roles as moral agents in a society still grappling with the consequences of violence.
