"I shall wish, then, to indicate in a general way what I conceive to be the true and valuable significance of the Self-realization principle; namely, that it is essentially an ideal of ethical method, and not a contentual or descriptive ideal from which either the details or the generalities of right conduct are to be extracted; and I shall try to present the principles of such a method as will answer to the requirements of this ideal, thereby supplying an interpretation, in a strictly ethical sense, of the concept of derivation."
