PREFACE TO THE EIGHTH

EDITION.

IN the present edition some few modifications of the text have been made. The special feature, however, is the analysis in detail of recent additions to the literature of the subject. Prominence has been given to three works deserving to be distinguished as representative of recent phases of thought. These analyses are provided, in the first instance, as an aid to students, but it is hoped they may also supply materials suited for class-work in the hands of Professors of Philosophy who have done me the honour of adopting the Handbook for purposes of instruction. As now published, it affords ample illustration of the most advanced speculation, not only on Ethics proper, but upon physiological and psychological problems fundamental to Philosophy.
