Excerpt from Seneca and Kant, or an Exposition of Stoic and Rationalistic Ethics: With a Comparison and Criticism of the Two Systems
Philosophical studies. Always important, have in late years acquired special significance, when the theories of the past and the institutions which embody them; when law, relig ion, and government, as well as history, literature, and art, are undergoing a searching criticism; when of necessity there is a constant recurrence to first principles, and all things are brought, as far as possible, to the test of right reason.
