Our readingWhat is a korrent?
That a pitiless war within each species is a condition of progress is unproved and unconfirmed by direct observation
Drawn from what Peter Kropotkin said
What Peter Kropotkin actually said
- Peter Kropotkin Russian anarchist political philosopher and geographer (1842 to 1921)
This view, however, I could not accept, because I was persuaded that to admit a pitiless inner war for life within each species, and to see in that war a condition of progress, was to admit something which not only had not yet been proved, but also lacked confirmation from direct observation.
