Excerpt from University Studies, Vol. 4: January, 1904The present age is characterized by some sociologists1 as the economic - ethical. It has left in the rear the ponderous debate on constitutionality, the closet speculations of metaphysics, and the bloody contests of religious schism - all stages of activity that were doubtless necessary, but could hardly be looked upon as rapid means of solving the problems of life. In the economic ethical age, we find less casuistry and greater definiteness. The discussions of previous ages have rendered many distinctions Simple that then seemed novel and fine - spun. -\7ith such a foun dation laid, there seems room for unlimited activity. The manifold phenomena of life are no longer confounded, and hence a vastly greater number of separate paths are opened. These paths soon have tracks laid upon them, and instead of walking we find our selves carried at railroad speed. In some such way it is that the present age is' characterized as one of motion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
