Julia GULLIVER and Edward Bradford TITCHENER, translators. Facts of the moral life.
First edition in English, first published as Ethik, eine Untersuchung der Tatsachen und Geseze des stlichen Lebens (Ethics, an investigation of the facts etc.) in 1886. This is a more broadly sociological work and a departure from Wundt’s scientific sociology, considering social groups and actions and the evolution from savagery to civilization, framed as a ‘humanistic’ way of life. Julia Gulliver was the second woman in the United States to receive her doctorate in philosophy.
