Note 331 — Chapter VIII · PRAGMATISM AND ANGLO-HEGELIAN RATIONALISM

Readers who remember Green’s Prolegomena to Ethics will remember that it is one of the difficulties of that remarkable, but one-sided, production (exposed, I think, with many other defects in Professor Taylor’s brilliant, but unduly intellectualistic Problem of Conduct) that it also seems to teach a kind of “Determinism” in ethics, in what our nature is unduly communicated to us by the Absolute, or the “Eternal Consciousness.” This whole way of looking at things must largely be abandoned to-day.
