Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from L'Evolution de la Morale: Lecons Professees Pendant l'Hiver de 1885-1886
Tant que les sciences naturelles ont ete mineures, ces assertions si temeraires ont pu trouver un grand credit; car on avait bien soin de les declarer superieures et exterieures a l'experience. Mais depuis, une armee de savants s'est mise a l'oeuvre et, sans meme y songer, elle a ruine toute la metaphysique de l'ethique ancienne. De patientes et nombreuses observatiws nous ont rendu familiere la psychologie de l'animal, de l'enfant, du sau vage, de l'aliene, du criminel. La doctrine des idees morales innees s'evanouit devant cette enquete. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
