Excerpt from Elementary Ethics As already indicated, the matter that constitutes the con tent Of Ethics is real truth. In order to become a science, wits matter must be developed in logical form whose perfection is attained through clear, distinct, complete and consistent treatment. TO approximate this ideal a methodical proce dure is requisite. Beginning with Observation, primarily Of facts Of consciousness gathered by introspection or furnished by testimony, and secondarily Of the behavior Of men in social relations, present and past, the intellect discovers in these phenomena the universally determinative notion Of inherent rights, native and acquired, and therein 'discerns a formative principle, imperative in character, and constituting the common bond Of Obligation among men. This strictly universal and necessary principle is not inductively general ized, but is intuitively discerned. From it deductions are then made to subordinate truths, until these, arranged in a logical system, shall extend throughout all lines of human activity, and comprehend all modes Of human Obligation. Ethics thus constituted is a deductive science. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
