If we are to admit only two normative sciences,
the first of these which for convenience we call ethics relating to actualization, has control of the existent, or

section, the first one on the ultimate aim, or
summum bonum, which will be the same as esthetics,

but is to relate to the admirable and adorable generally
while the other, which may be called critical ethics treats
of the conditions of conformity to the ideal.

normative science must be that word should be
will suggest that axiagastics be the name of the science of the worthy of adoration.
For I hold that the science must be the science consist in
the analysis of that which is admirable without any
