QR code
"First and Last Things: A Confession of Faith and Rule of Life" by H. G. Wells is a philosophical work published in 1908. Divided into four books, Wells presents his beliefs on metaphysics, conduct, and human purpose. He embraces skepticism while declaring an "arbitrary" faith in humanity's emerging solidarity. The work develops a rule of life centered on socialism and contains provocative views on love, marriage, and modern warfare. Written during personal
turmoil, it reflects influences from Darwin, pragmatism, and discussions with his lover, Cambridge philosophy student Amber Reeves. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
