Do que o fogo não queima by Jaime de Magalhães Lima
QR code
"Do que o fogo não queima" by Jaime de Magalhães Lima is a reflective work likely written in the early 20th century, around the time of World War I. This text delves into the philosophical and ethical implications of war, exploring concepts such as patriotism, conscience, and the fundamental essence of civilization. It examines the motivations behind warfare, critiques the relentless pursuit of power, and emphasizes the enduring nature of moral values
over physical destruction. The opening portion introduces a profound discourse on the ongoing war and its underlying causes, illustrating a stark condemnation of the greed-driven motivations that lead nations into conflict. The author reflects on the dualities of patriotism—one that embraces destruction and domination, and another that advocates for nourishment and protection of humanity. Through various philosophical perspectives, including references to historical figures and current events, the text proposes that the true essence of humanity endures beyond the devastations of war, highlighting an intrinsic yearning for moral integrity and a hopeful vision for future humanity rooted in cooperation rather than conflict.
