Excerpt from An Introduction to Social Ethics, the Social Conscience in a Democracy The fundamental problem of human life is the social problem or the problem of living together in a social order with the least friction and the richest possible conservation and development of human powers. Democracy is but the last and, we are more and more convinced, the best solution of the social problem. Democracy, therefore, whatever it may mean, is not ultimate; it is a means to an end. It is merely one of the many solutions that have been proposed for the fundamental problem of civilization. Democracy is true, then, not because it reflects the eternal order of things but because of its practical results. Of governments as well as of religious beliefs it may be said "By their fruits ye shall know them". Democracy being an attempt to solve a comprehensive problem will of course present many phases. Looked at from the point of view of the state, democracy may be denned as the vesting of the people with the sovereign power. The supreme advantage of popular rule is that through it freedom and responsibility, rights and duties, are most intimately related. The exercise of sovereignty emphasizes the obligations that accompany it. Men are made to feel that rights and duties are but different ways of viewing the same social situation.

Excerpt from Social Ethics: An Introduction to the Nature and Ethics of the State IN these days, when the social mind is troubled with a plethora of books, the writer who proposes an addition to the number should be ready to give a reason for the hope that is in him. There is no lack of social studies, but it seems to me that there is room for a book which treats social phenomena from a distinctively Christian point of view, and yet gives adequate place to the con elusions of science and philosophy. What is wanted is a Christian cosmic philosophy, for philosophy must be Christian to be cosmic. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Ethical Democracy: Essays in Social Dynamics In so great need of the benefits of discussion as is the relation of democracy to the process of evolution in history, to international co-operation, to industry, to the family, to woman as a social factor, to the moral instruction and education of children, to the philosophic habit among the people, to literature and art in general, and to the inner springs of human conduct. Each of these topics forms the subject of a special essay in this volume. Although every essay is independent of the others, they together give a comprehensive view of the whole ground traversed. The writers who were invited to contribute the different essays were those whom the Society of Ethical Propagandists con sidered best able to treat the subjects thoroughly and sym pathetically, from the point 'of view indicated by the words Etlu'cal Democracy. The literary manner of the chapters naturally changes with the authorship. Also, on special points a divergence of opinion may manifest itself. It should further be remembered that no one essayist is responsible for Opinions not expressed by himself. Since the volume was planned and after most of the essays had been written, the question of Imperialism and its relation to Democracy came prominently before the public, and differences of opinion have become apparent. Especially, Professor D. G. Ritchie desires it to be stated that he in no wise shares any anti Imperialistic sentiments which other essayists may have expressed here or elsewhere, and Professor J. H. Muirhead that he is not in sympathy with the prevailing tone on this question. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Social Conscience tells of the past, discusses the present, and looks to the future of a caring society that rests of two fundamental but simple principles: the instinct to care and the necessity to share. The book provides a detailed analysis of how these principles define who we are and dictate the decisions we make when determining right from wrong in any situation, whether it concerns the actions of everyday people, government, or individuals holding power in a hierarchical structure. Shedding light on a subject widely discussed but rarely explained, The Social Conscience fully engages readers in a discussion of the nature of the social conscience and its social, political, business, and personal conduct. It explores the ways our decisions impact society, as well as the ways society impacts our decisions. Topics addressed in this highly accessible volume include the social consequences of a market economy, policy objectives and educational goals for empowering a caring society, conflict resolution, and the future of consciousness with respect to the dynamics of change. The 2013 release of The Social Conscience celebrates the revision of the well-received first edition of the title, which was published as a hardback in London in 2007.

Excerpt from Social Ethics: An Introduction to the Nature and Ethics of the State Nineteen hundred years ago an exile of the Roman Empire was on a lonely Rock in the Ægean. He was not there because he had done his neighbor wrong, but because he believed in the coming of an organized society which would not rest on injustice. He had even dared to promise the coming of this new social order to the toilers that he met. Standing on this rock lookout the exile saw a new Empire rise such as the world had never known. In it were no slaves, there were none that suffered wrong and the ruler was a workman with calloused hands. While he looked he listened, and through the stillness came a voice. "The kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ." The exile believed in the vision and the voice. He told what he had seen and heard to others and they with gladness believed with him. It was their confidence that not only is there an individual, but a social soul, to be saved. Before both of them is righteousness and the Kingdom of God and the approach is through a divine man who calls himself The Way. After nineteen centuries the vision of the exile is not realized and those who have trusted in it must still walk by faith. The curse of sin still rests on the fairest works of God.

Excerpt from Ethics of Democracy: A Series of Optimistic Essays on the Natural Laws of Human Society One of the varieties of this species of democracy is distinguished for its concern with personal manners. Men are frequently called democratic merely because their manners are boorish, without the slightest reference to their convictions regarding either government or the peo ple. Confirmed aristocrats, for instance, are described as democratic, because they occasionally knock about in their shirt sleeves as hail-fellow-well-met, with temporarily agreeable groups of their social inferiors So the men they knock about with are accounted democrats, though for no other reason than that they are poor or uncouth or both. In this derivative sense, democracy is an illegitimate word. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This is the first collection of essays to evaluate John Dewey's pragmatist philosophy from a feminist perspective. The variety of feminist interpretations offered here ranges from Jane Addams's praise for his collegial efforts to resolve the problems of the inner city to contemporary comparisons of his approach with Addams's own critique of capitalism as patriarchal. In between are essays assessing Dewey's contributions to feminist theory and practice both in his lifetime and in regard to contemporary feminist approaches to education, subjectivity, objectivity and truth, and social and political philosophy. At a time when feminists are questioning and developing alternatives to the scientistic value-free inquiry advocated by logical positivism, the myth of detached observation informing the epistemological turn, rationalistic ethics, and the model of an unattached, nonrelational subject, this book reminds us of Dewey's early and passionate opposition to the same assumptions and his reconstruction of philosophy as a &"method of moral and political diagnoses and prognosis.&" It has often been remarked that Dewey's pragmatism provides a genuine alternative to the usual masculinist biases of Western philosophy, and the various essays in this book develop this claim more extensively. Contributors, besides the editor, are Jane Addams, Ana M. Mart&ínez Alem&án, Paula Droege, Marilyn Fischer, Eugenie Gatens-Robinson, Judith M. Green, Lisa Heldke, Ellen Condliffe Lagemann, Erin McKenna, Marjorie C. Miller, Elizabeth Kamarck Minnich, and Shannon Sullivan.

In this book, Wynne Walker Moskop addresses the practical and theoretical problem of how unequal political friendships evolve toward arrangements the parties consider reciprocal and just, a problem neglected by scholars of democracy who associate reciprocity and justice only with equal parties. Jane Addams insisted that Hull House was not a charity with philanthropic aspirations; rather it had to bring “two classes” to a shared purpose and more egalitarian relation. The problem was, and still is, how? Drawing on several bodies of scholarship—including Addams’s writings, secondary works about her collaborations, literature on Aristotelian political friendship, and feminist scholarship on the global migration of care workers—Moskop shows the importance of Addams’s practices to the continuing relevance of unequal economic relations for shaping political friendship. Contributing to a lively conversation about Addams’s work as a pragmatist thinker and social reformer that began three decades ago, Jane Addams on Inequality and Political Friendship is an invaluable resource to students of democratic theory, feminist political theory and philosophy, and American pragmatism. It illuminates the importance of overlooked conditions for friendship and justice in unequal relations, given people’s ongoing subordination because of race, class, gender, and citizenship status in the U.S. and transnationally.
