CHAPTER VI. Ethical Principles and Methods

ETHICAL PRINCIPLES AND METHODS

1. The Methods indicated in chap. i. have a prima facie claim to proceed on reasonable principles: other principles seem, in so far as they can be made precise, to reduce themselves to these: 77-80

2. especially the principle of “living according to Nature.” 80-83

3. In short, all varieties of Method may conveniently be classed under three heads: Intuitionism and the two kinds of Hedonism, Egoistic and Universalistic. The common confusion between the two latter is easily explained, but must be carefully guarded against. 83-87
