Book excerpt: Excerpt from Morals a Treatise on the Psycho-Sociological Bases of Ethics The field of psychological research has widened by the triple alliance of psychology, physiology, and sociology - an alliance at once of the most intimate and fundamental nature, and productive of far-reaching results. It need, therefore, occasion no surprise that among the volumes of a scientific series is to be found a treatise dealing with ethical questions. No doubt it is true that ethics and metaphysics have up to the present been closely interwoven. Under the guise of ethical theory, philosophical speculations of the most audacious type are presented to the student. But recent works on ethics have not been numerous, and betray signs of lassitude in those metaphysicians who paraphrase in general terms the works of Kant, and seem more anxious to soar into the realms of lofty thought than to lay the foundations of work that will be both positive and lasting. It would. 7 seem that the time has come for a system of ethics- less ambitious in. its aims, more restricted in its scope, and based on a more rigorous method of treatment.
