H. Hoffding, Philosophy of Religion, p. 328 jf. CHAPTER XIV THE WORTH OP MORALITY Before proceeding to a more concrete unfolding of the difficulties and problems of morality, it will be well to formu- late our theory in terms of modern biology, and then, finally, to answer those modern critics who reject not merely the rational explanation of moraUty but morality itself. Morality as the organization of human interests. The worth of morality is most commonly defended to-day, in biological terms,... by describing it as a synthesis of human interests; it is valuable because it is what we really want and need. It does, indeed, forbid the carrying-out of any impulse which renders impossible greater goods; it flatly opposes that unrestrained satisfying of a part of our natures which we call self-indulgence, or of one nature at the expense of others which we call selfishness. But it stifles desire only for a greater ultimate good; it rejects that needless repression of a part of the self which we call asceticism, and an imdue subordination of seK to others.
