註釋In this book, Jim Herrick takes us on a tour of two hundred years of history of the South Place Ethical Society. From its origins in the City of London, to the radicals of the 1960s, the left-wing exploits and political unrest of the 70s and 80s right up to the present day. Collecting the numerous revolutionary leaders, speakers, progressives and members of its past and present.Initiated as a celebration of the Ethical Society's bicentenary celebrations in 1993 by Nicolas Walter; after Walter's death in 2000, Jim Herrick continued his work on the history of the society. Aspiring to the Truth is an colour illustrated history, covering in-depth histories of the heretical founders at South Place, William Johnson Fox and Moncure Daniel Conway, and their determination to release the many from the shackles of inhumanity, sending messages of universal suffrage, free speech and emancipation for all. Looking to science, ethics and philosophy as a way of moving closer to universal truths, which were thought unimaginable at the turn of the 18th century.
