MANUAL of ETHICS BY JOHN S. MACKENZIE, M.A. Professor of Logic and Philosophy in the University College COPYRIGHT, 1925 BY NOBLE AND NOBLE General Library System Madison, WI 53706-1494 U.S.A. Printed in U. S. A. 1025 M2 1925 PREFACE TO THE FOURTH EDITION. The chief change in this edition consists in the addition of a chapter on the "Authority of the Moral Standard (Book II., Chapter VI.). This chapter includes an account of the Sanctions, which formerly appeared as a Lote to Chapter VI. of Book III. I have also added a short note on the classification of the Virtues at the end of Chapter IV. of Book III. The other alterations in this edition are very slight. I am glad to have this opportunity of acknowledging the kind expressions of appreciation that I have received from teachers of Philosophy in the United States and Canada. It is particularly gratifying to me to know that my book has been found useful in a part of the world from which so many of the most valuabie and attractive Manuals of Philosophy have come. At a time when we are being somewhat acutely reminded of the essential similarity of our political problems, it is pernaps specially fitting that we should remember that we are still more profoundly united on the larger problems of life and thought. |
