Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Law and morals oppose the cosmic process and tend to suppress the traits that win the struggle for existence
Drawn from what Thomas Henry Huxley said
What Thomas Henry Huxley actually said
- Thomas Henry Huxley English biologist and advocate of Darwin's theory (1825 to 1895)
But it is none the less true that, since law and morals are restraints upon the struggle for existence between men in society, the ethical process is in opposition to the principle of the cosmic process, and tends to the suppression of the qualities best fitted for success in that struggle.
