Excerpt from Methods of Ethics
On the other hand, the second view of Ethics is not naturally applicable to those systems which consider rightness of conduct to consist in conformity to absolute rules.
It is on account of the prevalence of the view just described, and the prominent place which it consequently occupies in my discussion, that in defining the subject of the present treatise I have avoided the term Art of Conduct'; which, to some writers, will appear the more appropriate designation for ethical method as I conceive it.
