To reform society, and with it humanity, there is only one means; to transform the mentality of men, to direct them in a new spirit. - African Spir

We can, following the example of Kant, consider the moral development and improvement of men, as the supreme goal of human evolution.

Men who have sacrificed their well-being, and even their lives, for the cause of truth or the public good, are, from an empirical point of view (which scorns virtue and altruism) regarded as insane or as fools; but, from a moral standpoint, they are heroes who honour humanity.

As long as men will not be freed from their errors and delusions, humanity will not be able to progress towards the accomplishment of its true destiny.
