| Summary | "Time and Tide by Weare and Tyne" by John Ruskin is a series of letters addressed to a working man, reflecting on the laws of work and the socioeconomic conditions of the time, likely written in the late 19th century. It serves as a philosophical examination of co-operation, the nature of work, and societal reform, emphasizing the importance of honesty, education, and public morality. Ruskin's work attempts to inspire the working class to think critically about their circumstances and to advocate for a more equitable system. The opening of this work introduces the premise that Reform alone is not sufficient without clear, collective intentions from the working class. Ruskin begins by dissecting the concept of "co-operation," distinguishing between different forms and emphasizing that true co-operation goes beyond profit-sharing among workers and employers; it should encompass a broader collective effort to uplift everyone's conditions. He recognizes the complexities of justice, wages, and social equity while urging his correspondent to consider how they can effectively create meaningful change for themselves without merely relying on governmental intervention. This initial letter sets the tone for a series of discussions aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of societal structures and responsibilities among workers, calling for both action and deliberate thought in addressing their plight.
