41. One Side Of Kipling - William M. Salter
    Critical essay on Rudyard Kipling's imperial ethics by William M. Salter of the Chicago Society for ethical culture, 1900.  
    http://www.boondocksnet.com/ai/kipling/salter_kipling.html
    
    Extractions: Women's History Month Resources One Side of Kipling By William M. Salter The Ethical Record 2 (Oct.-Nov. 1900). T In Kipling these thoughts, these sentiments, these very words appear to have vanished. It is said by those who have read him carefully that the word "freedom" does not occur in his books. Certainly he has no song in praise of liberty and I remember scarcely an instance in which he shows sympathy with an oppressed people or class. The soldier is the man he celebrates and his praises are almost all of war. For the Czar's late peace-proposal, which struck almost all the world as pathetically sincere, he had only a sneer. He appears not to believe in the brotherhood of the nations and looks forward to "the last great fight of all" in which Anglo-Saxon supremacy on the earth shall be triumphantly asserted. Tennyson's great dream of "a Parliament of Man, a Federation of the World" has faded out of his mind. It is not that it is utopian merely; apparently he does not wish it. It is this side of Kipling that I wish to take up. I do not forget that there is another. There is unquestionable charm and an entirely innocent charm in the "Jungle Books." For the lover of good stories he has spread an abundant banquet there are ten or twelve volumes of them. The world of India is made very real to one after reading them, and so is life on the sea. He takes us into strange places and among strange peoples; he recites wild adventures, and he admires pluck and hard work everywhere, and all this is well. But it is as the poet of militant England and militant America, of a militant ethics and a militant religion, that I wish to consider him.

    Extractions: Perspectives from the history of Ethical Culture The following statement has been issued on December 12, 2002, by the President of the American Ethical Union and the President of the National Leaders Council of the American Ethical Union. It is consistent with past positions of the American Ethical Union on the death penalty and on children's issues. MORE... contributed to this site by Jean Kotkin, December, 2002 The festival of the Winter Solstice was originally designed to celebrate the indestructible life in nature. The higher thought today is that the moral life of the world which appears so far as we know, in human beings only, is also indestructible - that after every defeat it rises to new victory - that after every obscuration it shines forth with new brightness. What is the symbol to which all shall express the thoughts that we in Ethical Culture would connect with the festival of the Winter Solstice? Is it the Christmas tree. or the old Yule tree which prior to the Christmas tree, symbolized the rekindling of the darkened light of the sun? But it expresses only the physical side of the festival, the fact of the evergreen life of external nature. For the higher, the spiritual nature, it does not stand. The only symbol that can be adequate for us is the child - the child not merely as it plays around the tree, not as it enjoys its gifts, not in relation to its parents who take great pleasure in its happiness, but the child apart from all these connections, the child as the vehicle of a new moral life, and therefore the type of the ever-recurring renewal of the moral life, the child as the promise and the pledge of the whole unspeakable future.

43. The Philippine War - Two Ethical Questions - Felix Adler
    Speech on atrocities and patriotism during the PhilippineAmerican War by Felix Adler, founder of the Society for ethical culture, April 1902.

    Extractions: Women's History Month Resources The Philippine War: Two Ethical Questions By Felix Adler Ethical Addresses 9:10 (June 1902). An address before the Society for Ethical Culture of New York, April 1902, reprinted from the June Forum . Is it treason to condemn a war waged by our country while the war is still in progress? 2. Are civilized nations justified in adopting uncivilized methods of warfare? As a matter of fact, during our Civil War, when the existence of the Union was at stake, President Lincoln strained to their very limit the powers of government entrusted to him. The writ of habeas corpus was suspended. The liberty of the individual was curtailed, men being forced into the service by process of conscription. And the point here pertinent the freedom of the press was seriously restricted, the Postmaster-General having issued an order closing the mails to certain newspapers in sympathy with the rebellion, and confiscating copies of one of them in order to prevent the spread of the opinions which it advocated. Such and other measures like them were sustained by the people. "Inter arma silent leges" (amid the clash of arms the laws are silent). Or, rather, in times of extreme peril to the state there is a single law that supersedes all others. It is the law of national self-defense, of national self-preservation. Even if free speech and unlimited discussion in the United States had the effect throughout all the Philippine archipelago of rendering the natives dissatisfied with our present military and semi-military government, and inspired them with the love and hope of liberty and independence, so that larger armies would be needed to keep them in colonial subjection that, aye, and more than that, would be preferable, and infinitely preferable, to our renunciation of the principle of free speech, of the sovereignty of public opinion, of government of the people, for the people, and by the people, which is the soul and glory of our republic.

    Extractions: of Ethical Culture The most central human issue in our lives is creating a more humane environment. Creating a more humane environment begins by affirming the need to make significant choices in our lives. To enable us to be whole in a fragmented world, we choose to treat each other as unique individuals having intrinsic worth. Treating one another as ends requires that we learn to act with integrity. This includes keeping commitments, and being honest, open, caring and responsive. Personal progress is possible, both in wisdom and social life. Learning how to build ethical relationships and cultivate a humane community is a life-long endeavor. Growth of the human spirit is rooted in self-reflection, but can only come to full flower in community. This is because people are social, needing both primary relationships and larger supportive groups to become fully human. Our social nature requires that we reach beyond ourselves to decrease suffering and increase creativity in the world. The democratic process is essential to a humane social order because respect for the worth of persons requires democratic process which elicits and allows a greater expression of human capacities.

Workplace Culture While advancement opportunities, corporate culture, salary, and signing bonuses are important factors when considering a job offer, a Penn State authority on ethics and leadership advises conducting an ethical culture audit before joining any firm. "Given the current environment and the growing number of corporate scandals, there are a number of questions that one should ask abut the ethical culture of an organization before accepting a job," says Linda K. Trevino, professor of organizational behavior in the Penn State Smeal College of Business, and co-author of the book, Managing Business Ethics: Straight Talk About How to Do It Right. She points out that while many large corporations now have formal programs for managing ethical behavior and legal compliance, human resources departments often play only a minor role in companies' ethics management efforts. In her book, with Katherine Nelson, Trevino recommends dividing the ethical culture into formal and informal systems, then asking the following 15 questions.

57. The New York Review Of Books: THE ETHICAL CULTURE SCHOOL
    Letter. THE ethical culture SCHOOL. By Rosalind Singer, Reply by Jeremy Bernstein.In response to Creators of the Bomb (May 11, 2000). To the Editors  
    http://www.nybooks.com/articles/15324
    
    Extractions: April 25, 2002 Letter In response to Creators of the Bomb (May 11, 2000) To the Editors In his review of In the Shadow of the Bomb: Oppenheimer, Bethe, and the Moral Responsibility of the Scientist , by S.S. Schweber [ NYR , May 11, 2000], Jeremy Bernstein states: "Oppenheimer...was educated at the Ethical Culture School in New York. This leads Schweber to devote several pages to a somewhat tedious digression into the ideas of Felix Adler, who founded the school. What any of this had to do with Oppenheimer is not entirely clear." I have not read Schweber's book, but as a graduate of the Ethical Culture Schools, I can tell the reviewer that the philosophy of Dr. Felix Adler had an enormous impact on all of us. For these reasons it seems to me that Bernstein's comment "What any of this had to do with Oppenheimer is not en-tirely clear" is incomprehensible. Although I could not understand much of the physics that Oppenheimer spoke about, I, along with many of my fellow alumni from Ethical, could very well understand most of his social and ethical comments. We all drank from the same philosophical fount. Rosalind Singer

    http://collier.ethicalmanifold.net/archives/000094.html
    
    Extractions: Main Back In 1933 V.T. Thayer, the director of the Ethical Culture schools, signed the Humanist Manifesto. This fact was kept from Felix Adler, the founder of Ethical Culture, who was near death at the time, as it was believed that this news would have been too acrimonious for Adler and would have pushed the frail old man over the edge. You see, Felix Adler, the great moral champion who founded the Ethical Culture religion in 1876, was a neo-Kantian Idealist. He was opposed to Humanism for two principle reasons; first, because the term itself at that time was more commonly associated with Auguste Comte's (kawnt) curiously positivistic and ritualistic "Religion of Humanity." But more troublesome for dear old Adler was the creeping specter of pragmatic and naturalistic beliefs that were being espoused by some humanists such as John Dewey, who also signed the Humanist Manifesto. Adler was fearful that the foundation of human worth upon which he had constructed his whole moral philosophy, would collapse on the loose shifting sands of a pragmatism that eschewed certainty.

    Extractions: From Bart Worden, Leader, Ethical Culture Society of Westchester Main Back Article for The Page 11-02 This year the American Ethical Union's Religious Education Committee hosted a weekend conference on the topic of festivals and I was asked to speak on the topic Saturday morning. In order to prepare for my workshop I visited the AEU archives in New York City and, with the help of archivist, Marc Bernstein, found some interesting materials from the early days of Ethical Culture. Among the items were two addresses, one from W. Edwin Collier and the other from Felix Adler, that provided very helpful guidelines for understanding the function of festivals for Ethical Societies. W. Edwin Collier was the Leader of the Philadelphia Ethical Society in 1906 when he wrote "The Abiding Value of the Christmas Myth." He makes the distinction between "myths" and "legends" and notes that both legends and myths refer to stories whose origins have been forgotten, but legends have no deeper significance while myths serve to explain some practice, belief, institution or natural phenomenon of religious significance. Further, myths have, according to Collier, two main ingredients: the poetic imagination which personifies aspects of Nature and "the moral consciousness which changes the subject from Nature to human nature and the facts of moral experience." Collier's point about myths is that they help us locate ourselves within the history of human culture and within the tradition of ethical evolution. Myths provide narratives that call attention to our presence in the natural world and to our human experience of the natural world. When we share myths we generate opportunities to appreciate the deeper meanings implicit in our experiences and opportunities to explore the ethical ideals that respond to our experiences.
