THIS book by one of the most competent writers on social philosophy in England has a serious ethical purpose: to "promote unity of aim among men of good will and lay a basis of cooperation between those attacking different sides of the social problem." "Politics," says the author, "must be subordinate to ethics and we must endeavor to see ethics not in fragments but as a whole." He asserts that we now have no reasoned basis for political or social reform and this explains why relatively little progress has been made in recent years in politics and why the "forces of progress have fallen into disorder and left the world to the reign of violence." The ideal he holds before us is democracy. In the chapters on Liberty, Moral Freedom, Social and Political Freedom, Justice and Equality, Property and Economic Organization, Social and Personal Factors in Wealth, are applications of ethical principles to social life. He plumps us right into the middle of social problems. Concerning liberty of opinion he writes: The question came to a head in the war in the requirement of military service. . . Parliament, in passing the Military Service Acts, made provision for exemption. . . . . Let us suppose a form of conscientious objection really fatal to collective efficiency.... In this case, therefore, there is in the realities of the situation constraint on either side, and which side is right in using it can only be judged by him who can determine where the true conditions of common welfare lie. The liberty which the individual retains to the last is that of protest. The liberty which the community vindicates in the end is that of action. . . . It is not debarred from imprisoning or even shooting him, but it is debarred from the use of weapons of contumely, derision and defilement of character. With these limitations, the hard saying must be accepted that it may be right to penalize a man for doing what he thinks right. incorporated in Great Britain in the administrative and legislative projects of the utilitarian school of social philosophy
