About this book
An Ethical Philosophy of Life Presented in Its Main Outlines is by Felix Adler. The writer says that he begins his statement of the ethical ideal with a critique of Kant. The writer says Kant stands forth preëminent among all philosophers as the one who emphatically asserts that the attribute of inviolability attaches to every human being, in his formula that every man is to be treated as an end per se.
The text states that the moral equality of men is a corollary of the attribution of worth to all men, and that without ascribing worth to them there would be no reason not to make servile use of them. The text says the romantic ideal of feudalism is reflected in the poems of chivalry, and the ideal of the English Renascence is found in Shakespeare. The text says Marxian Socialism depends on a belief that is a kind of materialistic parallel of the apocalyptic vision of Jesus.
