I do not propose in this paper to discuss what is the nature of the Good. Although the content of morality and the sanction for morality are closely connected, and it may be argued with much force that it is not practicable to deal with them separately, limits must be set to any one discussion. I would propose, therefore, not to embark upon the general question—what conduct is right and what is wrong; but, assuming that there is right and wrong, to consider why we should pursue the one and avoid the other.

page 419 note 1 In Mr. Bridges’ great poem, “The Testament of Beauty,” may be found a parallel. Its central idea is the combination of “Selfhood” and “Breed” to create “Ethick"; “Selfhood” being the individual and “Breed” the social motive that unite to form morality.
