Overview

Excerpt from Philosophy of Conduct: A Treatise of the Facts, Principles and Ideals of Ethics In Part Second, which treats Of the Virtuous Life, it has been my aim to show how, in spite Of the bewildering variety of Opinions and practices which has always existed, there is still, and, so far as can be discovered, always has been, a very substantial agreement touching the characteristic traits and habitual practices of the good man. This agreement does not, however, favor any Of the more current theories Of the moralists regarding the true nature and unity Of the virtues; or regarding the nature and Obligations of the so-called Moral Law. But the argument, as based upon these facts Of agreement, does lead to another conception, at once more subtly and delicately ideal and yet more truly and unchange ably real, Of both the nature Of virtuous living, and of the laws and principles whose dominion and rational rights such living acknowledges, and to which it yields Obedience and Offers allegiance.
