Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Elements of Political Science: In Two Books; Book 1. On Method, Book 2. On Doctrine
IT may perhaps be imagined that the principles con tained in the present volume are of too abstract or too metaphysical a character to be capable of redue tion to real practice. Let us therefore, in the first place, endeavour to understand what is meant by metaphysics, and to inquire whether all rational hopes of human progres sion and human amelioration must not be based on the improved and amended condition of abstract moral science.
