William De Witt Hyde (1858-1917) was president of Bowdoin College and also the chair of mental and moral philosophy there. His first of several books was Practical Ethics (1892). It is remarkable, among other things, for the methodical way in which he attempts to categorize the virtues. In his scheme, objects are the countless things which are external to us but that are the materials we use to build our lives: "materials to work with, stuff to build character out of, resistance to overcome, objects to confront." Toward each object we have a single, particular "relation... which at the same time best promotes the development of ourselves and best preserves the object's proper use and worth." It is our duty to maintain that relation, and his book is designed to assist in the art of discerning that duty. "If we do our duty repeatedly and perseveringly in any direction, we form the habit of doing it, learn to enjoy it, and acquire a preference for it. This habitual preference for a duty is the virtue corresponding to it." This is in his words, but the idea is right out of Aristotle. Virtues are not, in this scheme, their own reward, but they each have a particular reward, which correspond to the object on which they are practiced. As was mentioned, between us and the various objects we encounter is one single correct relation; any other relation we might fall into instead is a temptation. The habitual yielding to temptation is vice. One might err on the side of neglect for the object, in which case this is a vice of defect, or one might err on the side of giving the object a disproportionate place in our life, in which case this is a vice of excess (this too, comes from Aristotle's "golden mean" theory). Just as virtues have their rewards, each vice has its associated penalty by which it interferes with "that realization of ourselves through the object, or in the higher relations, that realization of the object through us, on which the harmony and completeness of our life depends."

"The end of all our actions is to be free from pain and fear; and when once we have attained this, all the tempest of the soul is laid, seeing that the living creature has not to go to find something that is wanting, or to seek something else by which the good of the soul and of the body will be fulfilled." "Wherefore we call pleasure the alpha and omega of a blessed life. Pleasure is our first and kindred good. From it is the commencement of every choice and every aversion, and to it we come back, and make feeling the rule by which to judge of every good thing." "When we say, then, that pleasure is the end and aim, we do not mean the pleasures of the prodigal, or the pleasures of sensuality, as we are understood by some who are either ignorant and prejudiced for other views, or inclined to misinterpret our statements.

QUOTES FROM PRACTICAL ETHICS "truth.-Things exist in precise and definite relations. Events take place according to fixed and immutable laws. Truth is the perception of things just as they are. Between truth and falsehood there is no middle ground. Either a fact is so, or it is not.

Discover The Five Great Philosophies of Life. Epicureanism, Stoicism, Platonism, Aristotelianism, ChristianismExtremely well-written and knowledgeable, this book provides a great overview of the different schools of philosophical thought. The five centuries from the birth of Socrates to the death of Jesus produced five such principles: the Epicurean pursuit of pleasure, genial but ungenerous; the Stoic law of self-control, strenuous but forbidding; the Platonic plan of subordination, sublime but ascetic; the Aristotelian sense of proportion, practical but uninspiring; and the Christian Spirit of Love, broadest and deepest of them all.The purpose of this book is to let the masters of these sane and wholesome principles of personality talk to us in their own words; with just enough of comment and interpretation to bring us to their points of view, and make us welcome their friendly assistance in the philosophical guidance of life.
