Riassunto

Excerpt from The Rational Good: A Study in the Logic of Practice

The following chapters were originally written in 1908 - 9, in amplification of a sketch of ethical theory contained in my Morals in Evolution, which had been published three years earlier. I was not, however, satisfied with the result, and put the manuscript aside for several years. It has now been almost entirely re-written. My Obliga tions to various writers on Psychology and Ethics will be manifest, but the general theory which most nearly corresponds to the central doctrine of the work is one which I heard expounded in a paper read In New York in 1911 by a distinguished lecturer on Ethics, and have never met with again in print. Mr. J. A. Hobson kindly read the work in its original form, and made many valuable criticisms. Mr. A. W. Perris has performed the same service to the revised work, and several alterations and additions are due to his sugges tions. I have also to thank him for revising the proofs.
