Excerpt from Factors in Conduct
This little book is a companion volume to The Unfolding of Personality. It passes on, in brief and unpretentious fashion, from the psychological view of behaviour there presented to an ethical view.
Perhaps the best apology the book Offers for itself is its brevity. Written before the war, though revised for the press since, it makes no direct reference to the burning questions of the hour. It only aims to be a short and popular preface to ethical discussion.
At no point is morality spoken of as though it were an artificial or super-normal product, an 'extra'; but everywhere as being embedded in life as men live it. The view taken is simply that moral action is healthy action or, in terms of evolution, that natural selection selects morality.' Morality, in a word, belongs to man. It stands for the part he has to play.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the relationship between morality and human conduct. It discusses various aspects of reality and the universe, arguing that an intelligible and self-consistent universe allows for rational behavior. The author posits that morality is not an optional add-on to human existence but is deeply embedded in our relationship with the external world. Morality, in this sense, isn't a static or supernatural force but rather an ever-unfolding and evolving process. By examining concepts such as satisfaction, permanence, and the 'good' in relation to our behavior, the book offers a unique perspective on morality as the pursuit of harmony between the self and the universe. It ultimately invites readers to consider the profound significance of morality in shaping our lives and the world around us.
