The dualism of Man and State began with the decline of Graeco-Roman civilisation, and was perpetuated by the teaching of Christianity.

The philosophy of Epicurus and of Zeno an utter detachment from the business of mankind--prepared the way for the spirit of the Gospels.

So, at length, we get our notion of Church and State--a separation ruinous to religion and making impossible anything like perfection in politics; it has thoroughly rooted in people's minds that fatal distinction between Man as a responsible soul and Man as a member of society.

Our work is to restore the old monism.

Very, very slowly, mankind is working towards it.
