Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book's subject is a Swiss peasant named Kliyogg who is celebrated by the author because of his unique take on morality, philosophy, and religion. The author initially admired the peasant for his ability to cultivate his land well, but came to find him extraordinary for his radical perspectives on the roles of the church, individual faith, and how to live a meaningful life. The author positions Kliyogg as an example of the immense capacity within all people for enlightenment and wisdom and that great ideas are not limited to highly educated elites. The core theme of the book presents the contrast between Kliyogg's productive life and simple but profound philosophy alongside the author's negative assessment of the educated class, who the author believes are more likely to be dogmatic in their religious beliefs and prone to indolence. The overall message of the book is that morality and enlightenment are accessible to all who seek it and that organized religion can be an impediment to true spirituality.
