Summary "The Knickerbocker, Vol. 10, No. 2, August 1837" by Various is a literary magazine written in the early 19th century. This issue features a collection of essays, poems, and stories that reflect on philosophical and societal themes relevant to the time. One prominent article discusses the concept of equality among humans, addressing differing viewpoints on whether individual capabilities and intellect are innate or conditioned by external circumstances. The opening of this volume presents a thought-provoking essay titled "The Nobility of Nature," which critiques the assertion that all men are created equal. The author challenges prevailing beliefs by arguing that individual differences in intelligence, morality, and societal roles stem from inherent nature rather than external factors. This opening segment sets a philosophical tone for the magazine, exploring deep questions about human organization, merit, and the implications of equality within various classes of society. Through a series of keen observations, the essay invites readers to reflect on the nature of nobility, virtue, and the impact of one's intrinsic qualities, grounding the discussion in the context of contemporary debates on social hierarchy and equality.
