Excerpt from Essays in Social Justice

This book is written on the assumption that there is a fixed point outside the ship by which it must steer, that it makes a great deal of difference in which direction we hap pen to be headed, and, moreover, that we must be guided by looking out at this fixed point and not by looking in upon our own consciences, for our consciences may be perverted. Character and conduct either of the individual or the state are thus to be evaluated, not in accordance with their power to please, or to create the sensation of approval within us; but in accordance with their power to propel us in the right direction. What is the right direction is a question of fact and not a question of opinion, of likes and dislikes, or of approval and disapproval by an inner con science.
