Book Description
The key question for the history of universal human rights is why it took so long for them to become established as law. The main theme of this book is that the attainment of universal human rights required heroic struggle, first by individuals and then by ever-increasing numbers of people who supported those views against the major historical trends. Universal human rights are won from a hostile majority by outsiders. The chapters in the book describe the milestones in that struggle. The history presented in this book shows that, in most places at most times, even today, for concrete material reasons a great many people oppose the notion that all individuals have equal rights. The dominant history since the 1600s has been that of a mass struggle for the national-democratic state. This book argues that this struggle for national rights has been practically and logically contradictory with the struggle for universal rights. It would only be otherwise if there were free migration and access to citizenship on demand by anybody. This has never been the case. Rather than drawing only on European sources and being limited to major literary figures, this book is written from the Gramscian perspective that ideas mean little until they are taken up as mass ideologies. It draws on sources from Asia and America and on knowledge about mass attitudes, globally and throughout history.

ETERNAL LAWS 1

Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
The book "Eternal Laws - New Mankind" provides information about the origin of the spirit of man and the meaning of his life on Earth. We are part of the great changes that are not happening by accident but by the lawful course of events geared towards the collapse of all that is wrong. Recognizing the unfortunate consequences of our present life and experiencing them ourselves opens up for us the path to a new life, based on the adoption of immutable universal laws. This is happening for the welfare of the new mankind which is brought back to its own heart - to the spirit and at the same time to the desire to fulfil the true meaning of life on Earth. The book with its simple and logical construction, provides a compact picture of Universe and humanity. It familiarizes the perceptive reader with eternal laws, working evenly and unwaveringly throughout Creation, with the principal power penetrating the Universe, with the composition of the material and immaterial worlds as well and above all with the highest source itself, from which all life springs. Thanks to the discovery and naming of negative influences that lead a humanity down the wrong path, the book will lead the reader to freedom from their misguided opinions and pointless suffering. Last but not least, it will lead the reader to the main source of knowledge, from which the author herself drew. This source remains unknown and misunderstood to contemporary people fully absorbed by earthly cares. The role of the author was to make it accessible to us in a new, easier form. The original book trilogy "Eternal Laws" was written in 1997-98. After its completion, the author suddenly left the world at the end of the year 1998. The books met with great interest of readers and have been translated into several languages. Thanks to their timelessness, they are still up to date. The English version of the first episode of book trilogy called Eternal Laws 1 - New Mankind is now available to you.
