Can the ethical principle survive modern thought? Eucken, the Nobel Prize-winning philosopher, states it, defends it, traces its evolution, and takes the measure of morality's present status in a scientific age. Compact lectures from one of Europe's most honored minds. Big questions handled with complete seriousness and surprising brevity.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
