''Two Orations Against Taking Away Human Life: Under Any Circumstances, And In Explanation And Defense, Of The Misrepresented Doctrine Of Non-Resistance'' is a book written by Thomas Cooper in 1846. The book contains two speeches or orations, where Cooper argues against taking away human life, no matter the circumstances. He also defends the doctrine of non-resistance, which he believes has been misrepresented. In the first oration, Cooper argues that every human life is valuable and should not be taken away under any circumstances, including war, self-defense, or capital punishment. He believes that violence only begets more violence and that the taking of a life can never be justified. In the second oration, Cooper explains and defends the doctrine of non-resistance, which he believes has been misunderstood and misrepresented by many. He argues that non-resistance does not mean passivity or cowardice but rather a commitment to peace and non-violence. He also discusses the history of non-resistance and its relevance in modern society. Overall, ''Two Orations Against Taking Away Human Life: Under Any Circumstances, And In Explanation And Defense, Of The Misrepresented Doctrine Of Non-Resistance'' is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to consider the value of human life and the role of non-violence in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
