WESTERN ETHICS it does make clear that the great issue of our day in ethical theory is more than one of theory. For the issue inevitably leads to the further question, Why should I be moral? If there is no reason for being so, is there any obligation to be so? That is an intensely practical question . In spite of the practical importance of the theoretical issue, the layman who turns to the specialists for light upon it is likely to come away puzzled. He finds much technical discussion of cognitive versus emotive meaning, of the possibility of a logic of imperatives, of the correct analysis of value sentences as opposed to empirical and logical sentences, and of the almost inexhaustible shades of meaning in the word 'good'.
For that, something quite different is required, namely the will to do it. Our records are full of WESTERN ETHICS 35 intelligent people who, for all their clear heads, have gone wrong; video meliora proboque, deteriora sequor; what I would I do not, and what I would not, that I do; is not this everyone's experience? Indeed a bad man is all the more formidably bad for his intelligence, as Iago notoriously was. Happily too, there are dull men in plenty who are the salt of the earth. If Kingsley was not inspired, he was at least not muddled in advising, 'Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever'.
One will have triumphantly got rid of fear, hatred, jealousy, melancholy, worry, and grief, and may return-so it may be thought-to the placid enjoyments which form for most of us 'the C major of this life'. But we must play the game fairly. Enjoyment is itself a feeling or emotion, and if our experiment is to be decisive, that must vanish with the rest. Very well, we abolish it too. Would such a general ban be disastrous? It would not seem so at first sight. An enormous range of experience would apparently be left us-the whole range of science, the whole of history, the dispassionate contemplation of the philosopher, and such part-not great, perhaps-of the life of action as could be carried on by knowledge and will without feeling.
