Draft for a Statement of Human Obligations
Étude pour une déclaration des obligations envers l'être humain
Outline of a declaration to replace that of the rights of man: it starts from the existence of a reality outside the world, the source of all good, and derives from it the obligation to meet the earthly needs of each human being's body and soul. It is the theoretical core of The Need for Roots.
