"Ethics" by Frank Chapman Sharp,1928
..
A volition is right if a reflective,
benevolent person would desire it to control the action of men ;
right action aims at the general welfare.
..
Morality is a reflective,rational affair ;
it involves in interplay between what we take to be right at the time
and what we learn to be right.
..
Good will and ill will conflict in moral consideration ;
men have both selfish and unselfish inclinations,
and ethics must take this fact into account.
..
Objectivity in morality can be gained by relating rightness to values ;
the formalities are mistaken in supposing that
rightness is a function of universally applicable rules of conduct.
..
The good is the desirable,
and the desirable is what would be desired were one jugding
reflectively on the basis of relevant information.
..
Pleasure is always good-in-itself,
worth having for its own sake ;
right action aims at the general happiness.
