Reseña del editor

The other half of our purpose has been to trace the connexion of this principle with ethics, or the systematic representation of our judgements on human conduct. No long account of the circumstances in which this essay was produced is called for. The idea of evolution as the equal and parallel progression of opposites was suggested to me, while I was still an undergraduate, by the simultaneous study of Herbert Spencer andS chopenhauer. My mind was already prepared for its reception by the lesson taught by Tocqueville, that in the republican institutions of A merica, when com pared with the institutions of the old world, special advantages were nearly counterbalanced by special drawbacks. At first my generalization only took in the contrasted pair of pleasure and pain ;very soon it was extended to good and evil; and finally it came to embrace adaptation and misadaptation generally, or, in other words, the whole of the phenomena of life when regarded under the aspect of evolution. At this point it was my lot to enter a service whose absorbing duties left neither the leisure nor the appetite for abstract speculation, and the theory was not carried further. But it was far from being lost sight of.
