Mutual aid is the origin of human ethics, and mutual support rather than struggle has led moral progress
Drawn from what Peter Kropotkin said
What Peter Kropotkin actually said
- Peter Kropotkin Russian anarchist political philosopher and geographer (1842 to 1921)
In the practice of mutual aid, which we can retrace to the earliest beginnings of evolution, we thus find the positive and undoubted origin of our ethical conceptions; and we can affirm that in the ethical progress of man, mutual support not mutual struggle—has had the leading part.
