Excerpt from The Theory of Morals My fundamental principle is, that moral good presupposes a natural good which is anterior to it, and serves as its foundation.

Excerpt from The Concept of Morals In morals finally we have the doctrine of ethical rela tivity.' It IS the same story over again. Morality ls doubtless human. It has not descended upon us out of the sky. It has grown out of human nature, and is relative to that nature. Nor could it have, apart from that nature, any meaning whatever. This we must, accept. But if this is interpreted to mean that whatever any social group thinks good is good (for that group), that there is no common standard, and that consequently any one moral code is as good as any other, then this relativism in effect denies the difference between good and evil altogether, and makes meaningless the idea of progress in moral con ceptions.

Excerpt from Moral Theory: An Introduction to Ethics After having suggested some possible criticisms of the theories worked out in these two books, I have then attempted to see whether it would not be possible to arrive at a satis factory positive result by a modification and development of one of them. This occupies the latter part of the book. But all the conclusions in this part are only put forward very tentatively and provisionally. They are intended to stimulate thought and to suggest problems rather than to give a definite solution of them. I owe a debt of gratitude to many friends who have helped me, directly or indirectly, in the preparation of this work. For direct help, I am indebted to my colleague, Prof. Alexander Mair, of this University, with whom I have been able to discuss many of the problems here treated to Mr. W. D. Ross, Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, who has been kind enough to give me his opinions on the chapters on Aristotle, which he read through in manuscript and, above all to Prof. J. H. Muirhead of the University of Birmingham, who has read through the whole of the book in manuscript, and made many valuable comments and suggestions. Mr. J. E. Turner of this University has helped me greatly in the work of correcting the proofs and preparing an index. Of all those who have helped me indirectly, I can say but little. But I must record a special debt of gratitude to my old tutor, Prof. J. A. Smith of Oxford, who first set me on the road to such understanding as I possess of Aristotle, and, through him, of Moral Philosophy in general and to my pupils in four Universities, with whom I have discussed these and kindred subjects, and from whom, in teaching, I have learned more than I can possibly have taught them.

Excerpt from The Theory of Ethics The logical framework of the position which as a matter of theory I have here attempted to defend will be found more particularly in the first three chapters. These undertake to be a connected piece of reasoning which to some extent stands or falls as a whole. The two more essential features are the conception of value, and the naturalistic theory of duty as having its source in certain negative emotional restrictions on the positive life of desire. In view of the fact that I disagree with his conclu sions on almost every point, I should like to acknowledge a special obligation to the ethical writings of Mr. G. E. Bloore. I have drawn to some extent in the following pages upon articles published at various times recently in the Philo sophical Review. The analysis has however been sharp ened at a good many points; and I trust the argument has been made more convincing by being brought together in a connected form.

Excerpt from The Theory of Abstract Ethics The present work is the result of long reflections, but was actually called forth by Professor J uvalta's Old and New Problem of Morality, to which my attention was drawn by Mr Benn's review in Mind (january, The instantaneous impression made by the review, in spite of the reviewer's disagreement with the author, was, This is the doctrine of which I was in search. Though awakened from dogmatic slumber by Re nouvier (mind and the Critique Philosophique, I had for long continued the attempt to derive the ethical law of justice from ends or goods. This is of course the tradition of English ethics; and my own resistance to Renouvier's Kantianism was only one expression of the effort of English thought to avoid the a priori. The a priori, however, in some sense, cannot be avoided. English Experientialism, largely justified though it was and is, must inevitably be modified in the end by the Continental Rationalism that found its most powerful expression in Kant.

Excerpt from A Historical Introduction to Ethics The criticism of moral systems constitutes a special section. In this way the repetition of objections which hold against a number of systems has been avoided. In the classroom, how ever, the author has departed from this plan. Students require and often request some kind of criticism before the lecturer passes from one system to another. The best plan in actual practice is to indicate the chief lines of criticism in concluding the analysis of an author, and toward the end of the course to summarize the various systems, giving a general and special criticism of the theories of morality. The collection of the points of criticism into one division, while having special advan tages in a printed work, need not interfere with the carrying out of the above method in practice, for it is a very easy matter to turn from one part of a book to another. In the choice of the types of ethical theory scarcely any two men would agree, and the author can scarcely hope to escape the accusation of most serious omissions. Some of these omissions will, however, be pardoned by one who bears in mind that the present work does not pretend to be a history of ethics, that the number of types must be relatively few, lest the student be lost in a maze of detail, and that the author can only hope to introduce the student to the field of ethical speculation.

Excerpt from An Examination of the Utilitarian Theory of Morals The value of well-founded doctrines in morals, both to the individual and to society, is of great moment in this age of independent research, and almost restless enquiry, when some even venture to propose reconstruction in religion and morals. Reflection on such things led the writer to examine and compare the two leading opposite schools of Moralists, with a view to discover the merits of their respective claims to acceptance. The result, in the form of a brief summary, is contained in the following pages. No one can be more sensible than the writer, of the many imperfections in the attempt he has made to carry out his purpose, yet it is felt that the careful reader can scarcely fail to be helped to see the inadequacy of the Utilitarian System, and the sufficiency of the Intuitional Theory, to answer all the demands of an ethical system. Ethical Empiricism is radically defective. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Elements of Moral Philosophy: Comprising the Theory of Morals and Practical Ethics Knowledge is congenial to the humanmind. The acquisition of it affprds a pleasure, independent of the uses to which it may be applied. But it is the practical htility of any branch Of knowledge, which gives it its chief value. The difference between the practical utility of the various branches of knowl edge, 15 veryg Great. Some can scarcely be said to be of any benefit beyond the momentary gratification afforded by the acquisition others produce an effect on the mind which is indirectly beneficial; and others are directly subservient to the purposes Of human life. Such knowledge and such studies, as tend to strengthen and elevate the mind, to induce a habit Of reflection, and to Withdraw the thoughts from the thousand trifles by which they are so prone to be oc cupied, exert a salutary influence on the conduct'and on the happiness of the individual, by means of the' effect which they produce on the mind, though they may not be capable of being directly applied many practical purposes. But as it is the disposition of heart which individuals cherish, and the course Of moral conduct which they pursue, that are the grand source of happiness or misery to themselves and oth 7 ers, that knowledge which is best adapted to melior ate the disposition and to regulate the conduct, must he most worthy of our attention and pursuit.
