Now that, by this issue of Parts Vand VI, along with Part IV previously published, I have succeeded in completing the second volume ofT heP rmciples of Ethics which some years since I despaired of doing, my satisfaction is dashed by the thought that these new parts are less definite in their conclusions than I had hoped to make them. Complete definiteness was of course not to be expected. Right regulation of the actions of so complex a being as Man, living under conditions so complex as those presented by a society, evidently forms a subject-matter unlikely to admit of specific statements throughout its entire range. The primary division of it private conduct necessarily dependent in part on the nature of the individual and his circumstances, can be prescribed but approximately; and guidance must, in most cases, be partly determined by a judicial balancing of requirements and avoidance of extremes. Entrance on the first great division of public con1 duct Justice does, indeed, introduce us to conclusions Qj which are in large degree definite.

The author sets the stage by examining the concept of animal ethics, tracing the evolution of justice from its animal origins to its highly developed forms in human societies. The book then provides a thorough analysis of subhuman justice, highlighting the interplay between self-interest and cooperation within animal groups. Moving on to human justice, the author examines its distinct characteristics, the interplay of individual rights, and the tension between self-preservation and the greater good.
