Excerpt from Conduct and Its Disorders: Biologically Considered In the execution of conduct as a whole, as in that of its several departments, mankind has contrived to get along very well without that systematic study of it, that we term the science of the subject. No doubt, they can reason very well without studying books on logic they can bake and brew, weave and tan, make chairs and tables, plough, sow, and reap, all without studying these subjects in books, but no one doubts that the reasoning faculty is sharpened by the study of logic, or that brewers and bakers, weavers and tanners, carpenters and joiners, farmers and stock-raisers, are better equipped for their several avocations by studying them systematically in books, and to say the least, no one who is engaged in execut ing conduct, that is to say, no living human being, is likely to pursue his conduct less capably from having studied it systematically. Apart from the general advantage to every one who has to engage in conduct of any kind, of having a systematic knowledge of that mode of conduct, and therefore to every one of having a systematic knowledge of conduct as a whole, there are certain special advantages to be derived from a study of Praxiology, if I may so term it.
