Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hints Toward a Theory of Ethics
What I would that I do not, but what I hate that I do. It is the eternal con?ict of the ought of duty and the desire of bodily appetite. It is a recognition of that ethical antithesis between what we call by the general name, duty, and pleasure, an antithesis which, on a more careful consideration, will reveal itself as in reality a con?ict between different pleas ures for the ought or must of duty, properly understood, is as essentially a creature of pleasure.
