Excerpt from Truth: An Essay in Moral Reconstruction

This Essay (which is a supplement to my earlier book Aristodemocracy) was written during the autumn and winter of 1917-18. For various reasons, its publication has been delayed. Though the actual war has ended, this momentous change has not affected the purpose and the arguments of the book.

Reconstruction is at least as urgently needed as is industrial and financial re-adjustment.

The immediate influence of the war - in spite of all the heroism and self-sacrifice which it has evoked in millions of patriotic citizens - has been to lower the moral standards of the world, already defective and anachronistic before the war.
