The Origin of the Knowledge of Right and Wrong With Biographical Notes, Criticism, and History
The Origin of the Knowledge of Right and Wrong, is a book written on the moral philosophy of right and wrong.
"We possess impressions with physical content. These exhibit to us
sensuous qualities localized in space. Out of this sphere arise the
conceptions of colour, sound, space and many others. The conception of
the good, however, has not here its origin. It is easily recognizable
that the conception of the good like that of the true, which, as having
affinity, is rightly placed side by side with it, derives its origin
from concrete impressions with psychical content."
