Excerpt from A System of Moral Science
Science subjects all the facts it uses to a controlling law, and by this law binds all its facts into an orderly system. No elements, however abundant, can become a philosophy without their determining principle.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a thorough exploration of the concept of morality, with a focus on the ultimate rule of right. The author begins by distinguishing between different theories of morality, including those that place the ultimate authority in an external source, such as God or the state, and those that find it within the mind itself. The author argues that the ultimate rule of right is found in the intrinsic excellency of spiritual being, and that this rule is imperative for the end of one's own worthiness of character alone. The book explores the various aspects of this rule, including its relation to taste, science, and the imperatives of one's own spiritual excellence. The author also examines the different virtues that flow from this rule, such as benevolence and reverence, and shows how they all find their end in the worthiness of spiritual approbation. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the nature of morality and the ultimate source of right and wrong.
