Excerpt from The Springs of Conduct: An Essay on Evolution
When I consented to a cheaper re-issue of this volume I reserved to myself the right of distinctly stating that, though I am more than ever convinced of the truth of the views therein set forth, so far as their general drift and tendency is concerned, I am not now, after some years of further thought and study, prepared to maintain all the opinions therein expressed. In a word, I have to confess that my views have undergone some alteration in the course of their development. And I am not ashamed of the confession.
It is not my intention to burden this preface with any account of the changes that my opinions have undergone. I may, however, state that sundry developments may be found in my work on Animal Life and Intelligence; that the tendency of my views on ethics may be partially gathered from an article on The Morality of Animals in The National Review; and that certain conclusions as to the nature of the connection of consciousness and neural energy will be found in The Monist, etc.
