Philosophy and Life: And Other Essays (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Philosophy and Life: And Other Essays

Ethics and Social Philosophy in London, the most common Objection that the promoters had to meet was this - that a School of Philosophy had no definite relation to life. Ethical Societies, it was said, meet a practical demand. The School of Economics, the analogy of which suggested a School of Ethical Philosophy, also appealed to certain definite classes to bank clerks, Government officials, and to the great business world generally; above all, it appeals to social and political reformers. But it did not seem so obvious that the subjects we proposed to deal with here had any similar clientele to draw upon.
