Excerpt from A Philosophical Study of Christian Ethics The first seven chapters of this volume were originally written, under the title Some Philosophical Aspects of Christian Ethics, as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, and were accepted by the examiners of Edinburgh University in the spring of 1910. These chapters have been revised since they were submitted in thesis form; but, while the changes made have been numerous, they have been almost entirely of a minor character, designed to improve the form of the argument and to remove obscurities of expression, rather than to alter its substance or its main direction. The only part of the thesis which has been substantially altered is Chapter VII. In the central part of this chapter further reflection has led me to modify the relative emphasis on certain points; and a few paragraphs have been transferred from the latter part of the chapter to Chapter XIII. (pp. 378-80). Throughout the chapters which composed the thesis a few additional references have been added, while some of the longer notes have been transferred to the end of the book.
