Summary "A Vision of the Future, Based on the Application of Ethical Principles" by Jane Hume Clapperton is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. The work explores the pressing social issues of its time, examining the intersection of ethics, individual happiness, and societal structures. Clapperton aims to illuminate the paths toward improving human welfare through ethical considerations, emphasizing the importance of collective action for the betterment of all humanity. The opening of this volume sets the stage by declaring that the ultimate goal of human endeavor is happiness, invoking the necessity of a correct philosophy of life to guide societal progress. Clapperton discusses the disparity between the happiness that should ideally drive human activity and the harsh realities of social and economic conditions. She introduces competing philosophies throughout history regarding the purpose of life and happiness, leading to a critical examination of societal structures that perpetuate inequality and hinder the collective flourishing of humanity. Clapperton passionately argues for a transformative approach to social reform and collective well-being, envisioning a future where ethical principles inform our actions and enhance human existence.
