Více o knize

Gilbert Keith Chesterton, a prominent early 20th-century intellectual, critically examined the eugenics movement, which sought to enhance humanity through controversial methods like sterilization and birth control. He recognized the dangerous ethics and false theories underpinning this ideology, which aimed to eliminate perceived societal "undesirables." Additionally, Chesterton highlighted the underlying racist motives driving the eugenics agenda, positioning himself as a freethinker who resisted prevailing societal norms.
