The Scientific Basis of Morality (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Scientific Basis of MoralityThe 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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
