Savitri Devi firmly believed that divinity manifests itself in every living thing, and indeed in all of nature. In no book does she affirm this life-centred outlook more fervently than in Impeachment of Man. Protesting against what she regards as the corrupt "produce and consume" values of modern society, she argues here for a new social order based on eternal, life-affirming truths.
Written with an impressive understanding of the teachings and legacies of all the world's great religions, this book is an ardent appeal for thoughtful stewardship of the environment and for the compassionate treatment of animals. above all, it is a passionate protest against cruelty to animals and a heartfelt plea for a vegetarian lifestyle based on a principled empathy for nature and the feelings for all living beings.
Fully aware of the irrevocable relationship between race and consciousness, as well as the limitations of human will and awareness, she freely acknowledges the enormous obstacles to bringing about such a uthopian society. Realizing that no more than a tiny minority of people will agree, or even understand her outlook, Savtri Devi therefore addresses Impeachment of Man to men and women of higher sensitivity and consciousness.
