- Summary:
- "The underlying purpose of this book is to treat ethics as the study of live men--of willing, struggling human beings, loyal or disloyal, brave or cowardly, just or unjust. To state this purpose in other words: the book does not conceive ethics as a science of abstractions--of duty, goodness, virtue, or values--But as the science of the dutiful, the good, the virtuous man and his object. Thus concretely conceived, ethics is an inevitable outlet of psychology and an essential source of sociological science"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).
