126 MORALS. 



Finally, to return for a moment to the more special 

 consideration of morals, it is often asked Why are 

 we moral ? The question is not more reasonable than 

 would be the questions Why do we think ? why do 

 we move our bodies ? Intellectual nerve which is 

 living, healthful, and awake, must think cannot help 

 thinking ; the body, supplied by living healthful motor 

 nerve, must move cannot help moving; moral nerve 

 which is alive, healthful, and normal, must yield has 

 no alternative but to yield moral conduct : these are 

 physiological first principles; we cannot go behind 

 them or underneath them. On these foundations the 

 ethical systems of the future must assuredly be built. 

 In digging out these foundations, huge psychological 

 systems of ethics will be undermined and will tumble 

 to the ground.
