What is Multatuli's central idea?
My core conviction is a burning indignation against injustice, against the debasement of human dignity. I believe in the inherent worth of every individual and in the moral imperative to fight against oppression and deceit. 'Max Havelaar' is a testament to this, illustrating how systems, even those meant to govern, can become instruments of cruelty when fueled by greed and a lack of empathy. True progress lies in recognizing and upholding this shared humanity.
