Professor Findlay in this book, originally published in 1961, set
out to justify, and to some extent carry out, a 'material
value-ethic', ie. A systematic setting forth of the ends of
rational action. The book is in the tradition of Moore, Rashfall,
Ross, Scheler and Hartmann though it avoids altogether dogmatic
intuitive methods. It argues that an organised framework of ends of
action follows from the attitude underlying our moral
pronouncements, and that this framework, while allowing personal
elaboration, is not a matter for individual decision. The relations
connecting our fundamental value-judgements with one another, and
the frames of mind behind them, are not rigorously deductive but
are sufficiently compelling to be called logical. Something of a
'transcendental deduction' of a well-ordered family for our basic
heads of valuation is both possible and necessary. The work is
further critical of the notion of obligation which has been
extended far beyond legal contracts and understandings. The book
also contains a chapter on religion.
