- W2062953089 abstract "ROFESSOR S. ALEXANDER'S latest contribution in ethics was made, as far as I am aware, in an article entitled Morality as an Art, in the Journal of Philosophical Studies of April, I928. Assuming that it is his last word (so far) on the subject (following, though at some distance, on his important Moral Order and Progress and some discussions in Space, Time, and Deity), it may not be unfair to examine it as expressing his mature thought. Its general tone is in harmony with that of his preceding writings on the same topic. There is a similar empirical and evolutionary point of view, and a conviction that morality is an art elaborated by society for its own welfare. One is reminded of his treatment of tertiary qualities (including moral values) in Space, Time, and Deity, and particularly of his refusal to accord them the unqualifiedly objective status ascribed to other qualities. In the first part of Morality as an Art, Professor Alexander contends that scientific interest and work is grounded in the instinct of curiosity, and that aesthetic appreciation and production are derivative from the instinct of constructiveness. Is there, he asks, any instinct [comparable to these two] of which morality is the satisfaction? .... It may well seem that virtue is but passion directed, and that there is room for no other instinct. But what is this direction of passion which makes it virtuous? or why should we seek direction of it?, Unless we remember Alexander's governing point of view we shall not understand his answer. He thinks of morality as conformity to social requirements, and of society as a system which needs order and arrangement and a harmonious system of willing.
