Excerpt from Essays in Social Justice

This book is written on the assumption that there is a fixed point outside the ship by which it must steer, that it makes a great deal of difference in which direction we hap pen to be headed, and, moreover, that we must be guided by looking out at this fixed point and not by looking in upon our own consciences, for our consciences may be perverted. Character and conduct either of the individual or the state are thus to be evaluated, not in accordance with their power to please, or to create the sensation of approval within us; but in accordance with their power to propel us in the right direction. What is the right direction is a question of fact and not a question of opinion, of likes and dislikes, or of approval and disapproval by an inner con science.

Excerpt from Essays in Social Justice

One of the surest signs of degeneration is the growth of sentimental as distinguished from practical morality, especially when it is combined with an ingrowing conscience. Sentimental morality is the sort which evaluates character and conduct by their ability to satisfy an inner sense of propriety, or to create within us the sensation of approval. Both character and conduct, under this system, come under what economists would call "consumers' goods" whose function is to please. Practical morality is the sort which evaluates character and conduct by their results. The test is thus objective and not subjective. "By their fruits ye shall know them" is robust and wholesome doctrine, though even this may be travestied by the defining fruits in subjective terms, under the alluring but delusive name of spiritual goods. An ingrowing conscience is one which leads its possessor to look continually inward upon his own motives and to try perpetually to test them by some supposedly inner knowledge as to what a motive ought to be like. Such a person is like one who would try to guide himself through the world by closing his eyes to the objects around him and following an assumed inner sense of direction.

One school would have us believe that this inner knowledge, or intuition, is like the compass which the ship carries in her midst, which points unerringly fixed point outside the ship, and which, accordingly, becomes a safe guide.

Paperback. Condici�n: New. Print on Demand. This book grapples with the complex question of justice, exploring its origins and application within both individual societies and the broader realm of international relations. The author challenges conventional notions of justice, arguing that it is not simply a matter of personal sentiment or intuition but rather a product of the continuous struggle for survival. Drawing inspiration from the work of Darwin, the author posits that just as in the natural world, societies evolve and progress through a process of variation and selection, with those moral and social structures that best facilitate survival and growth ultimately prevailing. This book offers a thought-provoking analysis of justice, reminding us that the pursuit of social harmony and advancement requires a critical examination of our beliefs and an understanding of the enduring forces that shape the course of human history.
