An Introduction to Ethics (Classic Reprint)

Introduction toE thics ;but as the term I ntroduc tion has, in this connection, received an ambiguous meaning, a word of explanation may not be out of place. This term is sometimes employed to denote a philosophical discussion of the ultimate concepts which lie at the foundation of a science; in which case, a preliminary study of the science is indispensable as a preparation for an intelligent perusal of the I ntroduction. This is not the sense in which the present work is meant to be an Introduction toE thics. It is intended to introduce to the science those who are as yet unfamiliar with its fundamental concepts, except in so far as these are implied in all our ordinary thoughts about human life. With this object in view I have not confined my self to the exposition of moral concepts in their abstract universality.
