Ethics (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Ethics It is scarcely possible for anyone who has written at large book on a subject to write a smaller one a few years later without, to a considerable extent, repeating himself. This little book is necessarily little more than a condensation of my Theory of Good and Evil. I have never written with that work before me, but I have not taken any particular pains to avoid repeating expressions or illustrations which occur in the larger book. There are, however, some criticisms upon a recent phase of Emotional Ethics which have not appeared before. This explanation seems desirable to prevent anyone who has already read the Theory of Good and Evil expecting to find much that is new, while it gives me the opportunity of referring to that work any reader who wants further explanation of the positions here taken up or answers to objections which will naturally present themselves. While I have tried in this volume not to conceal difficulties or to save the student from the labour of thought, I have endeavoured to make it a really elementary introduction to the subject.
