Of these Causes [of war] one undoubtedly consists in the want of enquiry. We have been accustomed from earliest life to a familiarity with its “pomp and circumstance;” soldiers have us at every step, and battles and victories have been topic of every one around us. ... We have never enquired whether these things should be: the question does not even suggest itself. We acquiesce in it, as we acquiesce in the rising of the sun, without any other idea than that it is a part of the ordinary processes of the world. ... Want of enquiry has been the means by which long-continued practices, whatever has been their enormity, have obtained the general concurrence of the world, and by which they have continued to pollute or degrade it, long after the few who enquire into their nature have discovered them to be bad.

—from Jonathan Dymond, Essays on the Principles of Morality (1824)
