This is the crux of Kirk’s argument. This book is simply a long historical survey of the basis and background for those principles.
It’s a tough read. It assumes a lot of ancillary knowledge about historic people and events. I had to stop reading and research a bunch of stuff in Wikipedia in a futile attempt to keep up.
Still, an admirable work. I shudder to think how long it took to write this.
