    IN THE EARLY 1760s BENJAMIN FRANKLIN CONFIDED TO HIS FRIEND, THE Scottish philosopher and jurist, Lord Kames, that nearly 30 years he had had in preparation a book on ethics. 'Tis not a mere ideal Work, Franklin assured Kames, by which he meant that it was not a mere dream.

    T HE precise subject of our investigation here is one of immense history and complexity. Significantly, it has no set name. To a librarian it might be classification; to the teacher, curriculum. But the former smacks of efficiency and expediency more than real concern with the fundamental relationships between the disciplines and their proper philosophical order, while the latter suggests occupation with narrower matters, like reading lists and p…
