Excerpt from Problems of Men, Mind, and Morals The series of essays comprised in the present volume includes some pieces not before published, together with others that have already appeared in substance in periodical or journalistic form. These latter, however, have all been either rewritten in the main, or, where this seemed unnecessary, have at least been carefully revised and brought up to date. In the first chapter, which deals with the pro blem of Ethical Evolution, I have endeavoured once more to state succinctly and clearly what (apart from my own previous writings) I take to be an entirely new View of the development of the moral consciousness, and one which I hold will not prove unfruitful in results when worked out in detail. The second chapter treats of the application to history of certain philosophical principles arrived at in a previous work of mine, The Roots of Reality. Originally designed as the introduction to a volume on the Philosophy of History. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
