Seventeen years ago, Mr. Spencer published an elaborate Review article entitled "The Genesis of Science," in which he objected to Comte's views of the classification of the Sciences.

Excerpt from Evolution in Science, Philosophy, and Art: Popular Lectures and Discussions Before the Brooklyn Ethical Association The doctrine of Evolution, representing as it does Nature's uniform method whereby all progressive changes are accomplished, whether in Physics, Biology, Psychology, Sociology, or Ethics, is susceptible of an infinite variety of expository illustrations. The present volume, which is the natural successor of previous courses of lectures before the Brooklyn Ethical Association on Evolution and Sociology, exemplifies the workings of this universal law in some of the special departments of Science, Philosophy, and Art The seventeen lectures herewith presented may be naturally segregated under these several heads. To the department of Science belongs the able exposition and critique of the contributions of Alfred Russel Wallace, the co-discoverer with Charles Darwin of the law of Natural Selection, to the doctrine of Evolution, by our foremost American biologist, Prof. Edward D. Cope, together with the monographs on the evolution of Chemistry, Electric and Magnetic Physics, Botany, Zoology, and Optics, and Mr. Potts's interesting discussion of the development of Form and Color in Nature. To the department of Philosophy may properly be assigned the exposition of the life, work, and philosophical system of Prof. Ernst Haeckel, the eminent German evolutionist, in the lecture of Mr. Wake-man and the appended discussion, Dr. Abbot's exposition of The Scientific Method, Mr. Underwood's able presentation of the principles of Herbert Spencer's Synthetic Philosophy. Dr. Janes's application of the philosophy of Evolution to the Art of Life, and the noteworthy discussion of The Doctrine of Evolution, its Scope and Influence, by Prof. John Fiske, our ablest American exponent of this doctrine in its ethical and philosophical aspects. The final outcome of these lectures constitutes, it is believed, a complete refutation of the charge of materialism sometimes unjustly made against Mr. Spencer and the whole modern school of evolutionists. This is a matter of great interest and profound significance, to which we commend the thoughtful attention of the reader and reviewer.

Excerpt from The Elements of Moral Science IN the Manual of Theology, recently pub lished, the externals of religion are discussed only so far as they relate to ceremonies and church order. To render that work a complete system of divinity, a supplement is needed on Christian Morals. But, in the ordinary course of instruc tion, moral, philosophy is introduced among the studies of college, and receives the attention of students who never enter a theological school. In agreement with this usage, it has appeared to me better, instead of adding a supplement to the Manual, to prepare a separate work on morals, and adapt it to general use.

Excerpt from Science of Moral Philosophy A treatise on Moral Philosophy that does justice to its sub jcet, will, of course, tax to the utmost the powers of the hardest student who attempts fully to fathom the depths, and ascend the heights of thought to which it attains; and at the same time, it will so elucidate that subject, that the ordinary reader who will devote adequate time and attention to its perusal, will it with much interest and profit. Such it has he'en the aim of the author to render the following treat ise. He designed to render it a book for the student, and at the same time, a book for the people. Let not the com mon reader, then, be startled at the intricate questions which epen upon him, as he proceeds. If he masters the subjects discussed, he will never regret the loss of his labor, and let him remember, that he can master them, if he will. This treatise was not prepared the thoughtless, who take up such a work, lance, it may be, at its contents, and then lay it aside, as too eep for them, individuals whose minds oat at random upon the surface of things, without looking seriously into the depths beneath, or to the heights above for the purpose of understanding the great realities within and around them, realities among which they are to have their eternal dwelli place, and who especially never ponder the ques tions, What am I'! Where am I? And Whither am I bound? What ought I to be? What ought I to do? And What will be my destiny, as the consequence of being and doing what I ought, or ought not? It was prepared, on the other hand, for thinkers, into whose hearts wisdom has entered, and unto whose souls knowledge is pleasant. To such it is now commended, with the earnest be e, that they may find the same interest and profit in its study, at the author has found in its preparation.

Excerpt from Science and Social Progress: A Philosophical Introduction to Moral Science Give us a guide, cry men to the philosopher.1 We would escape from these miseries in which we are entangled. A better state is ever present to our imaginations, and we yearn after it; but all our efforts to realize it are fruitless We are weary of perpetual failures; tell us by what rule we may attain our desire. Have a little patience, returns the moralist, and I will give you my Opinion as to the mode of securing this greatest happiness to the greatest number. There again, exclaim the objectors, you mistake our require ment. We want something else than opinions. We have had enough Of them. Every futile scheme for the general good has been based on opinion; and we have no guarantee that your plan will not add one to the list of failures. Have you discovered a means of forming an infallible judgment? If not, you are, for aught we know, as much in the dark as ourselves. True, you have Obtained a clearer view of the end to be arrived at; but concerning the route leading to it, your offer of an opinion proves that you know nothing more certain than we do. We demur to your maxim because it is not what we wanted - a guide because it dictates no sure mode of securing the desideratum because it puts no veto on a mistaken policy; because it permits all actions bad, as readily as good - provided only the actors believe them con ducive to the prescribed end. Your doctrines of 'expediency' or utility or 'general good or 'greatest happiness to the greatest num ber afford not a solitary command of a practical character. Let but rulers think, or profess to think, that their measures will benefit the community, and your philosophy stands mute in the presence of the most egregious folly, or the blackest misconduct. This will not do for us. We seek a system that can return a definite answer when we ask Is this act good?'

Excerpt from Ethics and Moral Science Undoubtedly, if ethical facts are considered from the outside, objectively, and in their relation to other social facts, they seem to belong to the same category, and consequently to be objects of science as they are. But so long as they are manifested subjectively in consciousness under the form of duties, remorse, feelings of blame, praise, etc., they possess an entirely different character. They seem to relate exclusively to action, and to depend solely on principles of practice. Oi the two conceptions the first is unusual, the second universally received. It is not less familiar to philosophy than to common sense, and has never shocked any one. The other is proper to scientific sociology which puts forth as a principle that ethical facts are social facts, and which concludes that the same method applies to one as to the other. It nearly always awakes a feeling of instinctive distrust in those who are not accus tomed_to look at things in that manner.

Excerpt from The Science of Ethics as Based on the Science of Knowledge To anyone who obtains a first and superficial View of the history of philosophy it seems absurd to think of introspection as affording anything approaching the character of scientific system. There seems to be endless difference of\ Opinion. Every thinker, however, arrives at convictions of his own, although he combats the convictions of his fellows. Those who attain to any mastery of the critical system of Kant, with its higher order of introspection, reach a series of necessary truths belonging within the sphere of rational psychology. Any candid student of the History of Philosophy, who has given much time to understand the different systems, will testify that the agreements of these thinkers are numerous, and of such a character as to demonstrate the claims made for the scientific character of the higher introspection. In so far as the amateur follows the mathematical demonstrations of Newton or Leibnitz, he is forced into agreement; he sees the insight of the mathematical author he is studying. So it is in the higher introspection: sufficient care and attention will discover to the reader the philosophical necessity which the insight of a Kant or a Fichte had attained. But just as there comes a point in the study of mathe maties where the mind of the student stops before a realm of unexplored quantity, so there comes a place in philosophical introspection where the student stops.

Excerpt from Moral Science: Or the Philosophy of Obligation The system here presented is developed from natural and rational facts and principles; but it will be found to be in harmony with the teaching of the Scriptures, and it is essentially the system of Christian Ethics. But refer ences to the Scriptures have not been made for the sake of establishing by the authority of Revelation the leading facts and principles of obligation. The Scriptures are a great storehouse of philosophical and ethical truth which no student or thinker can afford to overlook.
