Excerpt from The Foundation of True Morality IN the modern world, progress in the art and science of living has not kept pace with progress in the other arts and sciences. Man does not lead a better and a happier life than he used to do. There are many indications that human conduct is getting worse, and that men are more discontented, more miserable than they used to be. One means of moral progress would be to pro vide a sound and universally accepted code of ethics. The world would then have, at least, a moral standard by which human actions could be judged. It would go a long way toward forming a healthy public opinion on all moral questions. The Chris tian religion furnishes the highest moral standard ever manifested to the world.

Excerpt from The Scientific Basis of Morality The chief subject of this book, and the main idea pervading it, are expressed in its title. Its leading object is to show, in a general way, that the entire conduct of man - physical, mental, and moral - is based upon a scientific foundation; to make clear the truth that the great powers and laws of science are the chief guides of life; to show that universal energy acting according to law is the true divine power governing physical, moral, social, and religious conduct; and to illustrate the influence of science upon the material, mental, and moral progress of mankind.

Excerpt from The Foundations of Ethics HE complaint which is made against meta physics - that it accomplishes nothing - may perhaps as justly be made against the science of Ethics. Men have thought much upon ethical problems, but those problems still remain, for the most part, unsolved. There are still many ethi cal schools, and, though the ground of the conflict has Shifted, the conflict has not ceased. But there is still much hope that this strife may be brought to an end.

Excerpt from Morality It augurs ill for any state when its members are not restrained by their inner consciousness from doing immoral acts, and only refrain from untruthfulness or immorality if the same be not authorized by the usages Of society, or are legally but not morally honest, acting as if they believed man to be but'a handful of dust, a machine to be utilized to the utmost whilst usable, then crumble back to the dust it came from when it has lost the power to act. I am quite indifferent as to the means adopted, so that an earnest effort be made by those who have the power to supplant vice by implanting virtue, and displace an apparent, conventional belief in creeds by a real belief in the laws of God that will be manifested in man's daily acts. Half, nay, nearly all the exhorta tions of our times fail - for what? Because not only are the doctrines not in accord with the intelligence of the times, but where is the teacher or preacher of whom it may be said, He has lived his religion all his life? Do we find the lives of Christians, clergy or laity, free from ill-temper, uncharitableness, or spiritual pride; above all, do they rise above, or speak as though they hated the hollowness and rottenness of hypocritical subterfuges, or respectable expediencies of the time we live in, more than other men?

Hallowell makes a significant argument in favour of the importance of moral values in the orderly functioning of modern democracies. Hallowell begins with a survey of the role that classical liberalism and faith in man as a reasonable, moral, and spiritual actor played in the emergence of democratic self-government. He sharply criticises positivist thought and moral relativism as direct challenges to the notion that transcendent truths guide individuals in their actions and influence how people participate in a democratic society. Hallowell reminds us that at its core, a well-functioning democracy must be based on a fundamental respect for the dignity of the individual.
