The Nature of Goodness
Excerpt
The substance of these chapters was delivered as a course of
lectures
at Harvard University, Dartmouth and Wellesley Colleges,
Western
Reserve University, the University of California, and the
Twentieth
Century Club of Boston. A part of the sixth chapter was used
as an
address before the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Harvard, and
another
part before the Philosophical Union of Berkeley, California.
Several
of these audiences have materially aided my work by their
searching
criticisms, and all have helped to clear my thought and simplify
its
expression. Since discussions necessarily so severe have been
felt as
vital by companies so diverse, I venture to offer them here to a
wider
audience.
