Summary "Towards the Great Peace" by Ralph Adams Cram is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century that delves into the conditions of society following the devastating impacts of the Great War. The text presents an exploration of various socio-political, economic, and spiritual challenges faced by the world, arguing for a thoughtful reconciliation of past ideals and modern realities to cultivate a more harmonious future. In this work, Cram urges a departure from mere materialistic interpretations of progress and advocates for a renewed understanding of human dignity and societal organization rooted in Christian values. The opening of the treatise contains an introduction that reflects on a prayer by Bishop Hacket, establishing the theme of striving toward the "Great Peace" in a world fractured by war, animosity, and moral degradation. Cram outlines the historical context leading up to World War I, critiquing the failures of contemporary society, including a disconnection from meaningful ethical and religious foundations. He emphasizes the importance of individual character over institutional constructs, suggesting that true progress requires a spiritual awakening and the careful nurturing of societal structures that promote community and personal responsibility. The reader is invited to consider the pervasive disillusionment that followed the war and the potential for renewal through collective human effort and higher ideals.
