(Muirhead Library of Philosophy). -- This study of moral experience is based on Gifford Lectures delivered in Aberdeen. It begins by describing the way in which the action of human beings rises from being instinctive to being chosen. Moral problems arise when man has to choose. At different times men act for pleasure, or to obey a rule, or to obtain some benefit, or to do their duty. All these reasons are considered in the book and it is argued that they all have their place in such different levels of experience as play, law, economics, politics and personal relationship. Special consideration is given to the natur eof action as such. The book ends with an examination of the relation between morality and religion." -- with a bonus offer-- .
