The substance of the book is an account of the various elements contained in moral order and moral progress; the subtitle describes its method, which is that of grouping together ethical facts under the main working conceptions used in morality. The work is divided into the following Books: Preliminary-Conduct and Character; Statical-Moral Order. Part I. Moral Predicates and Part II. The Moral End; and Dynamical-Moral Growth and Progress.
