Quote from ‘A Syllabus of Certain Topics of Logic’

Quote: 

Normative science has three widely separated divisions: i. Esthetics; ii. Ethics; iii. Logic.

Ethics, or the science of right and wrong, must appeal to Esthetics for aid in determining the summum bonum. It is the theory of self-controlled, or deliberate, conduct.
