Synopsis

This is an attempt to tabulate from theE thics the opinions of Aristotle on several questions of paramount importance, which are widely discussed at the present time, and to set his opinions side by side with those of some eminent modern philosophers. Perhaps in doing this something may be done towards indicating thatS cientific basis of morality, which is desired in many quarters. I have tried to be on my watch against the danger, to which commentators are specially exposed, of importing into the mind of their author opinions, which are really their own, not his. It would be a grave injury to moral philosophy, if Aristotle were left out of consideration by moralists, or displaced in the studies of our Universities. In a work, which though of small compass, hasT he establishment of rules of right conduct on a scientific basis is a pressing need. H. Spencer, Data of Ethics, p. iii.
