About This Book

An extended ethical and social analysis argues that deliberate moral and scientific reform can steer human development toward greater happiness. It surveys economic transformation and the organization of industry, then examines physiological concerns such as population dynamics, sexuality, eugenic ideas, marriage, and parentage as factors shaping social well-being. The work addresses abnormality and crime with proposals for elimination, traces the evolution of emotions including rights, justice, property instincts, jealousy, and patriotism, and advocates education and domestic reform to cultivate civilized habits of mind. It concludes by treating adolescence and religious life as foundational elements for conscious ethical progress and summarizes practical principles for improvement.
