DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A Treatise on the Moral Ideals In the Author's Introduction to the Exploratio Philosophica, the present treatise is alluded to in words to which I have already called attention in my Preface to his Examination of the Utilitarian Philosophy. After mentioning that he had contemplated publishing an answer to Mr J. S. Mill's Utilitarianism in the year 1863, he continues, 'I altered my mind as to this, and determined rather to put together in an uncontroversial form what seemed to me the truth, in opposition to what I thought error. This, if it please God, is in the way of being accomplished, subject to all the delays which interest in other employments, uncertain health, and some not, I think, uncalled for scrupulousness and anxiety as to what, one writes on a subject so important, may throw in the way of it.' The Exploratio itself was published in 1865, and the Author died in the summer of the following year. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Moral Ideal: A Historic Study The perspective of an individual memory, years dwindle to a point, and moments expand to an age. A true biography, were such a one pos sible, would measure its progress by some other standard than the dates which mark advance from the cradle to the tomb; and the historian can hardly more than the biographer afford to forget that, as it has been finely said, God has so arranged the chronometry of our spirits that there shall be thousands of silent moments.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Morals a Treatise on the Psycho-Sociological Bases of Ethics In the near future it will, no doubt, be a matter of surprise that men were so pretentious as to teach morals, and to direct the most complex of all activities, without having made, as a preliminary, a sufficiently exhaustive study of man and of society. We shall be amazed at the subjectivity of moral conceptions, even while we remember that they were the work of the greatest minds of every age; at assertions based on incomplete and even in accurate notions of individual and social life; at precepts of value to the individual alone, enunciated by him for the purpose of justifying his manner of life, systematised after the event, when prejudices and preconceived ideas have had their natural effect on a mind which then offers itself, more or less unconsciously, as a model to its contemporaries and their descendants! Plato, with his aristocratic and Athenian tastes Aristotle, saturated with intellectualism - Descartes, oscillating between science and religion - Spinoza, a fatalist and mystic, - each in turn has described the moral ideal according to his own temperament and personal tendencies, and this they have done in almost complete self-absorption, as if assured that all other mortals were fashioned like unto them.
