 (6) These defects do not prove any inherent vice in analytic 

 methods, but show the necessity of a critical account of their 

 function in relation to experience. - Pp. 122-149

EXPERIENTIAL RECONSTRUCTION 



(i) Modern philosophy aims at a reconstruction of experience, (2) 



first by an evaluation of the subjective factor in knowledge, (3) 



and secondly by constructing a logic of experience. (4) The 



i problem of knowledge is set in terms of a synthesis of experience, 



\7 (5) in which the idea of development has a central place. (6) 



Reconstruction has brought the results of thought into relation 



with the underlying conditions of its development, and thus 



rendered Mind self-conscious in the full sense. - Pp. 150-168 



CHAPTER X 



THE WILL IN DEVELOPMENT 



The ethical order involves a system of related elements which have to be 

 examined in their development, (i) There is a hereditary basis 

 of behaviour, roughly adapted to the needs of personal and social 

 life. (2) Hence arises the equally rough adaptation of the feelings 

 which, at the " Inarticulate " stage begin to modify impulse. (3) 

 With " Articulate " correlation there arise desire, choice, indi- 

 vidual relationships, and susceptibility to praise and blame. (4) 

 General characteristics of human morality, rules of conduct, social 

 and psychological implications. 



The principal stages to be distinguished in the development of 

 human ethics are: (i) Custom, in which the impartial moral 

 judgment is imperfectly formed. (2) Law and morals, in which 

 categorical rules are established. (3) Religious idealism, which sets 

 up a complete system of life, without regard to the actual conditions 

 of development. (4) Realism, which reconstructs the system by 

 relating it to the final meaning of development. (<0 A rational 

 account of morals was first attempted by the Greeks, but did not in 

 their case start from a generally accepted spiritual religion. (6) 

 Such a religion formed the starting point of the modern recon- 

 struction, which has to reconcile the claims of the spiritual order on 

 the individual conscience with the working life of society. (7) This 

 1 leads to the conception of the harmonious development of man in 

 society as the basis of the ethical order, (8) and to the conception 

 of the spiritual as the moving force in this development.
