To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This reduction is shown to be quite incorrect by all the facts now presented, which prove that the two tendencies extend ahke down into the life of the animals. On this higher plane the attempt to reduce the ethical forms of action to those of personal reflective intelligence, goes no further than is justified by the one-sided uses of the intelligence described in the last chapter. On the other hand, the claim that the generous impulses, the sympathies and altruistic emotions, give exclusive co...ntent to the ethical consciousness is equally mistaken. Sympathy is a capricious and lawless thing. Suggesti- 1 bility characterizes the sympathetic psychosis to a remark- able degree. And again, sympathy may be present when there is no adequate deliberative process to support that adjustment of personal claims which the ethical con- sciousness calls for, and which the Utilitarians so prop- erly emphasize. This we saw on the lower plane above ; and now when intelligence is born we find it promptly taking the helm and using the emotions for its own social ends.
