Summary: "Mankind in the Making" by H. G. Wells is a philosophical work written in the early 20th century, exploring theories of social development and the evolution of human society. The book seeks to address pressing social and political issues through a new lens, suggesting that the entirety of social and political life should be viewed as part of a larger evolutionary scheme aiming for the betterment of mankind. The opening of the book provides a preface where Wells outlines the general aims and scope of his work. He candidly admits to his own limitations and aspirations, emphasizing the importance of addressing social and political questions in a coherent, constructive manner. He introduces the concept of "New Republicanism," proposing an organized doctrine that prioritizes the reproductive and developmental aspects of life, thus presenting a philosophical perspective on how societies may evolve by fostering improvements in the quality and potential of new generations.
