KNOWLEDGE, LIFE, AND REALITY moral ideal. Such an association would not correspond to the ideal of a society of truly moral selves. Indeed, the civil and ecclesiastical organizations which have — no matter with what pretence of a good conscience, or with what show of reasonable grounds — endeavored so to dictate moral ideas and laws to their individual members have usually turned out most mis- chievous and abominable tyrannies. The present day proposals which are more subtle and indirect, wheth...er of the more pro- nouncedly imperialistic or socialistic order, to force conformity to some common social ideal, when the moral self is not in- telligently committed to it as its very own ideal, will un- doubtedly prove just as unfavorable to a real moral develop- ment. The two most prominent existing and contending types of social organization — imperialism and socialism — are both characteristically immoral and fatally destructive to genuine morality. For, the moment you conceive of your social or- ganization as successfully framed after the pattern tliat com- mends itself to the ethical judgment, and that stirs moral feeling and the imagination in appreciation of its intrinsic excellence, you have rejected for the individual tlie supreme authority of the prevalent customs, maxims, laws, and opinions.
