Excerpt from A Philosophical Introduction to Ethics: An Advocacy of the Spiritual Principle in Ethics One more point comes within the legitimate scope of this Introduction. The philosophical standpoint adopted has been identified with that of Personal Idealism and this may need a brief word of explanation. Defining Idealism generally as the doctrine which finds the ultim ate reality of the universe in Spiritual life, and its end in the perfecting thereof, the diffe1entia of Personal Idealism is its insistence that such ultimate reality can be sought or reached m and through our own personal experience, and in no other way. It lays emphatic stress on the infinite significance and value of the ethical life, and claims, in the words of one of its most distinguished representatives, that here only in the life of ethical endeavour is the end and secret of the universe to be found. Its view -point is teleological, con crete in the truest idealist sense, and such is th'e view point maintained and developed throughout the present volume.
