Moral Sanity

Abstract

Many years ago Mr. H. G. Wells entered the “den of lions” and addressed the “Mind Association,” which embraces the most distinguished experts in metaphysics, on “Philosophy.” He was well received, however, and doubtless the expert mind was refreshed by the pres entation of the philosophy of the “plain man,” as expounded by the talented writer. Much more daring and bold is the present writer, who makes no claim to be a specialist in any direction, and does not possess expert learning except, perhaps, in metaphysics, in thus writing on so difficult and technical a subject as sanity for those who have made psychotherapeutics their life study. The object of this paper may, at once, be stated to be to express the profoundest admiration and appreciation of the methods of mental specialists, whose principles are in the estimation of the writer so eminently sound as viewed from the standpoint of both philosophy and religion.
