" O Lord , artificer of this new world , thou name mysterious among the gods , and up to now revered by all mankind , how long hast Thou , O Daimon , judged it right to leave the life of mortals without God ? So that mankind , according to this scheme , are subjects of Command or moral government in nothing at all ; and all their moral agency is entirely excluded , and no room is left for virtue or vice in the world . Cosmopolitanism is the will that the purpose of life and of man be attained in all mankind , Patriotism is the will that this purpose be attained first of all in that nation of which we are members . And when we come to those increasingly well-defined zones m which Mankind ( become almost world-wide by the beginning of the Quaternary Period ) spreads and grows as it approaches nearer to ourselves , the fact is surely undeniable - - moreover , it is a phenomenon loaded with consequences - - that in a Mankind in process of planetary expansion , the Human ( or Reflective ) behaves like a physical magnitude , not simply variable but irresistibly rising : like a vapor which becomes increasingly gaseous as it departs in a rising temperature from its point of liquefaction . He is the pattern of an old man who has almost done with life , and is at peace with himself and with all mankind . The non-renewable resources of the earth must be employed in such a way as to guard against the danger of their future exhaustion and to ensure that benefits from such employment are shared by all mankind . There is as much impossibility but that the things which are infallibly foreknown , should be , or , which is the same thing , as great a Necessity of their future existence , as if the event were already written down , and was known and read by all mankind , through all preceding ages , and there was the most indissoluble and perfect connexion possible between the writing and the thing written .
