[QUOTE="Vigilant, post: 1460502, member: 21776"] This sounds good: [URL='https://infogalactic.com/info/M._Thomas_Inge']"M. Thomas Inge[/URL] defines agrarianism by the following basic tenets:[URL='https://infogalactic.com/info/Agrarianism#cite_note-4'][4][/URL] [LIST] [*]Farming is the sole occupation that offers total independence and self-sufficiency. [*]Urban life, capitalism, and technology destroy independence and dignity and foster vice and weakness. [*]The agricultural community, with its fellowship of labor and co-operation, is the model society. [*]The farmer has a solid, stable position in the world order. He "has a sense of identity, a sense of historical and religious tradition, a feeling of belonging to a concrete family, place, and region, which are psychologically and culturally beneficial." The harmony of his life checks the encroachments of a fragmented, alienated modern society. [*]Cultivation of the soil "has within it a positive spiritual good" and from it the cultivator acquires the virtues of "honor, manliness, self-reliance, courage, moral integrity, and hospitality." They result from a direct contact with nature and, through nature, a closer relationship to God. The agrarian is blessed in that he follows the example of God in creating order out of chaos."
