History as Past Ethics: An Introduction to the History of Morals is designed as a brief introduction to the history of morals. The book is the outgrowth of a conviction that the philosophy of ethics, if it shall become a stimulus and guide to social service and humanitarian effort,—especially if it shall bring reinforcement to that ethical idealism which so largely motives the movement for world peace,—must be based on a knowledge of the facts of the moral life of the race in all the various stages of the historic evolution.
