Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Conflict Between Love and Morality
True we may stand aside and decide to take no active part. But at certain moments of world-evolution, to stand passively aside is, willy-nilly, to take an active part in the help or hindrance of social problems. Such inaction may become action of a sort the very reverse of what we desire. If I see a man crossing the line, unconscious that an express train is upon him, and fail to warn him of its approach, I may argue that I took no active share in his death, yet for that reason the coroner will not exonerate me from blame.
