Shaw had taken up what Ibsen* called 'the revolution of the Spirit', and wanted to show true individuals on the stage, those who lived not by 'customary morals' but by inner conviction.

萧伯纳认同易卜生（艾伦也同样认为易卜生的戏剧非常出色）所说的精神革命，要在舞台上表现真实的人，那种不靠正统道德，而是依靠内心信念的人。

The writer thinks that much the same as the development of human beings from barbarism to civilization and from obscuration to science, the evidence system has also been developing from divinity evidence system to legal evidence system, and then to inner conviction system.

与人类从野蛮走向文明、从蒙昧走向科学的进化道路相随，证据制度经历了法定证据制度取代神示证据制度，自由心证制度取代法定证据制度演进的历史进程。
