Ethics, Felix Adler believed, deserved a life's devotion and a philosophy of its own. The founder of the Ethical Culture movement traces his intellectual journey through Emerson and social reform, then builds his mature theory and applies it to vocation, family, and society. A system of thought with a lived spine. Follow a principled life to its foundations.

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.
