About this book
Shared moral problems bring believers and doubters into the same conversation in Leslie Stephen's addresses to London's Ethical Societies. This first volume gathers discussions of ethical societies, science and politics, political economy, competition, social equality, and the struggle for existence. In the opening address, Stephen considers how people divided by religious doctrine can still treat one another with sympathy and cooperate in practical moral work.
The economic discussion asks what economists can explain about the industrial arrangements of their time and how that knowledge might support social improvement. Stephen stresses careful interpretation of historical facts and an understanding of existing institutions before proposing changes.
