Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Scientific Meliorism and the Evolution of Happiness
The synthetic arrangement of ideas that are not original, but the common property of the age in which we live, is the purpose I have had before me in writing this book and if in it I do not prove to my reader that my thinking is conformable with the facts of life and the facts of thought around me, I shall have failed in the major part of my undertaking.
I shall deem it a success if, on the other hand, my reader is struck by the familiarity, not the novelty, of my views, and especially if perchance this book should bring to him, as its only revelation, the recognition of himself as Scientific Meliorist.
