EM Forster is best known today for novels such as Howards End and A Room with a View. Throughout his life he became famous as a writer and broadcaster and was mixed with many other major writers and artists, including the Bloomsbury group. His book often explores social problems and he says that "Humanist has four main features - curiosity, free heart, faith to taste, and belief to humanity -" Humanist movement .
In 1938, he wrote an article entitled "I Believe Articles" accompanied by "gathering a political storm". Because these articles are difficult and serious days, people like to say relatively free speech thoughts. It may not be free for a long time. "
This article covers a wide range of topics including politics, social issues, and religion. However, one of the themes he returned is human dignity and the ability of optimism. "Well, I am here anyway, I do not like it much, how are you?"
He also emphasized the importance of interpersonal and interpersonal relationships. "It's relatively steady in the world full of violence and abuse," he said. Shivering flames, knowledge, it is not the only light that shines in the darkness, it is not the only light that darkness can not understand. "
"If this is correct, I think it is a nobleman if Democrats can use it, it is a sensitive, compassionate and courageous aristocrat, not aristocracy of power based on hierarchy and influence. Since they have a secret understanding when they encounter They represent a true human tradition and are one of our strange and cruel permanent victories.They are very sensitive and compassionate There is no fickle and their fool is not fashionable, but the ability to stand is a joke. "
E. M. Forster's "I believe" reflects discreet idealism and is interesting. Throughout the article, Foster makes a declaration that rationality is good, then it will go back one and a half steps. In this case we insist on the ongoing need for faith. This is an interesting technique showing the complexity of his position, as long as they are the whole Bloomsbury. Of particular interest is his interest in faith, which is the cornerstone of discussion and interpersonal relationship.
Looking back on the old EM Fox in 1957, the world of the late empire of "Indian Road" no longer exists politically and socially. Today, almost 100 years after its composition, this novel may still be "out of date" as usual. But because Foster's concern is to establish a relationship between British teachers and Muslim doctors, reflecting the great tragedy of imperialism - "Traveling to India" is a great thing of the 20th century It is one of the novels. .

Like Foster, I look a bit like a pagan. I also suspect blind faith, I also know that certain privileges are necessary for battle. But what do I believe now? At the end of "people I believe", Foster proposed an attractive idea, "a sensitive nobleman", not from the country, class, and creed, but "representing the true human tradition". Consisting of people, our strange race is better than a cruel and chaotic permanent victory. "They created and they discovered," They are not subtle and noisy, their hunting is not epidemic, but the power to endure, they can joke, "they hear. They organize, they resist.
