Excerpt from The Religion of Duty
In the absence of a more carefully prepared volume, it has seemed that to draw upon these spoken addresses for some expression of the principles which are most central in Professor Adler's thought, and to place them within the reach of the many people who desire to know more fully the conclusions of this earnest moral leader, would be a real service to the ethical and religious interests of the present time.
Some of the material which goes to form the present volume has been published in Ethical Addresses and The Ethical Record; but the larger part is here published for the first time, while that which is republished has been more carefully edited and arranged with a view to giving the sequence necessary for any adequate understanding of the point of view and the resulting conclusions.
It is hoped that in the near future another volume may be published, presenting the more practical aspects of Professor Adler's work along the line of social ethics, as the present volume gives the distinctively theoretical phases of his thought.
