Sadly his assertion that 'the group within the society which suffers the greatest continence displays the greatest energy and dominates the society‘,

Great article on an unearthed classic.

Had the book a few years still not completed it Great Stuff Will!
Very insightful article, thanks.
Small observation: at first you used the adjective "monistic", then switched to "manistic", and they hold different meanings. A typo?
Yeah, autocorrect kept trying to 'fix' that for me. I must have missed some. Thanks.
