Excerpt from Appletons' Popular Science Monthly, Vol. 50: November, 1896, to April, 1897
IN the present paper I purpose to discuss briefly the nature of the moral standard, strictly so called. The simplest way of approaching the subject will perhaps be to pass in rapid review the other principal criteria of conduct, by contrast with which the essential character of the moral criterion itself will be brought into conspicuous relief.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development and key concepts of the moral standard as its own standalone criterion of conduct. Starting with an examination of pre-ethical codes the author places the moral code alongside these to throw their radical and differential qualities into immediate and striking relief. The evolution of the moral code as a natural development, in contrast to a supernatural or artificial plane is discussed. This leads to a broader look at the relationship between conduct and life, as well as evaluating the importance of morality as its own compass in navigating the complexities of human interaction. The author concludes that the moral ideal, rooted in the very constitution and conditions of life, serves as the foundation for a faith that endures, guiding us with confidence in the nature of things. Through a study of the world's culture history, the author traces the origins of morality to three distinct roots, revealing the striking similarities and differences between the various theological codes of conduct from different eras and cultures.
