Excerpt from Christian Ethics and Modern Problems The history of moral philosophy, from the Greeks to the nineteenth-century Utilitarians, does not fall within the scope of this book. Nor will it be necessary to examine in detail di erent types of ethical theory, as has been done by Martineau, Sidgwick, Green, and many others. My plan is to take the Ethics of the New Testament as embodying, on this side, the Chris tian revelation, and to bring these into comparison with the principles which seem to underlie the theory and practice of the white races in our own day. In this book I am concerned only with Western civilisa tion; I have neither the knowledge nor the space for a consideration of Asiatic peoples.
