Book excerpt: Excerpt from Man and the State: Studies in Applied Sociology; Popular Lectures and Discussions Before the Brooklyn Ethical Association Questions dividing the public mind have herein, as far as possible, been presented from contrasting points of view with candor and fair ness, thc advocates of each aiming to justify their positions by appeals to the scientific method and the recognized principles of social evo lation. This we believe renders these lectures in their printed form adapted to sustain the interest of the reader as they did that of the large and intelligent audiences which attended their oral delivery, and to provoke fruitful thought and wise action on political issues as cer tainly as the ordinary heated appeal of the emotional orator, unhap pily too familiar in our political campaigns, serves to produce the contrary effect of intensifying preconceived and unscientific partisan prejudices. Recognizing with Mr. Herbert Spencer that the end which the statesman should keep in view as higher than all other ends is the formation of character, the ethical bearing of the topics under dis cussion has been kept steadily in mind. Nor have we failed to remem ber with Prof. Le Conte that the most potent factor in human prog ress is not found in organic evolution, but in the voluntary co-opera tion of man in his own evolution.
