Présentation de l'éditeur

Ethics relates to all manner of deeds and habits of doing which concern ones fellow men, either as private individuals or as members of institutions members of the social whole. One may conduct himself in such a manner as to obstruct the actions of his fellow men and thereby reduce their labours and strivings to a nullity, more or less, according to his power and skill. Or, on the other hand, he may act in such a manner as to reenforce their labours and strivings and increase the net product of human endeavour. The fact that there are rational objects to be achieved by humanity name them collectively as the conquest of nature for mans use and the peaceful combination of man with men to the end that each individual may share in the experience of all individuals these objects ought to be the common aim of all rational beings: this fact furnishes the basis and norm of ethics. It makes evident theS ource of Power. The individual who promotes the twofold end of civilisation increases the aggregate power of mankind and at the same time shares in that power.
