"The Super Race: An American Problem" by Scott Nearing is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book addresses the philosophical and practical considerations surrounding the concept of a "Super Race" in America, exploring the implications of eugenics, social adjustment, and education as foundational components for achieving this ideal societal goal. In this work, Nearing discusses the potential for improving human qualities through intentional selection in reproduction, social reforms that ensure a nurturing environment, and an education system that fosters individual development. He asserts that the historical emphasis on material advancement has overshadowed the need for cultivating human potential. Drawing on examples from various fields and historical contexts, Nearing argues for a collective effort in nurturing a generation characterized by physical and mental excellence, as well as moral vision, to achieve the prospect of the Super Race. He illustrates the unique opportunities that America possesses in realizing this vision, considering its diverse populace and rich resources, urging readers to engage in a thoughtful discourse on the future of humanity.
