The Ideal of Human Unity

Sri Aurobindo hacia 1900
bySri Aurobindo

Written during the First World War, it examines the possible roads to humanity’s political unity—empire, federation, confederation, League of Nations—and warns that a merely mechanical unity would destroy the diversity of peoples. It argues for a “religion of humanity” based on recognition of the common spirit. The 1950 postscript applies the analysis to the UN.
