Summary: "Practical Agitation" by John Jay Chapman is a political treatise written in the early 20th century. The book discusses themes of political reform and the philosophy of civic engagement, emphasizing the importance of personal integrity and the active participation of citizens in the political process as a means to combat societal corruption. The opening of "Practical Agitation" outlines Chapman's vision of political activism as a conduit for promoting selflessness and truth in governance. Chapman introduces the role of the agitator, who strives to harness governmental mechanisms to uplift societal morals and eliminate systemic corruption. He reflects on historical changes in political attitudes, revealing a shift toward greater civic responsibility, while delineating his critique of both political parties as embodiments of a machine that perpetuates dishonesty. Through a series of compelling observations about the nature of reform and the necessity of truth-telling, Chapman establishes a foundation for understanding the relationship between personal integrity and the broader political landscape, setting the stage for the explorations that will follow in the subsequent chapters.
