• catalog description "Christianity and Ambition : Ambition is the essence of religion and there is reason to regard it as the ultimate transformation of the will to power -- The Crux of Christiantiy : The Will to save men is fundamentally presumptuous and becomes increasingly impossible to contemporary moral diffidence and modest self-consciousness -- The Theory of Participation : The demands of Christianity create a logical dilemma, the individual, as imperfect, cannot perceive the divine object -- The Divine Aggression : The Idea of salvation from outside -- The Last Fact : The Belief in a quasi-maternal relation of the world to human individuals, has abeen at the basis of our civilization. -- Deeds of individual men, have seemed to carry an over-indivicualand authoritative significance. -- The Alternatives presented to individual determination.

• catalog description "Continued 1 : Conscience : The Interest of Justice : According to Aristotle, is the basis of political life, and is an exhibition of human nature : Can we admit an original moral disposition or instinct? -- Conscience and the General Will : Given sociability and a power of generalization, the socially deprived "ought" is not identical with the "I ought" of experience -- Conscience and Instinct : How conscience resembles an instinct : an untaught, tropistic seeking for objects of primary devotion : and yet differs from all hereditary mechanisms ; It is a form of self-awareness, dealing with fluxes in the being of the will.".
• catalog description "Current Fallacies Regarding Sin : The Logic of moral error : does a lie prove a liar? The Fallacy of cancelling right against wrong : The Fallacy of custom, to the effect that generality diminishes guilt ; The Fallacy of "nature" to the effect that natural is right -- Instinct and Sin : No Primitive impulse taken by itself is wrong ; but in the human mind no impulse is by itself, and crude impulses are presumably not justified in remaining crude ; Sin as failure to give an impulse its achievable meaning ; i.e., as failure to interpret it -- Sin as Blindness and Untruth : The Descriptive difference between sin and right is evanescent ; Sin may consist in supressing an increment of knowledge ; and the act, by virtue of its environment, will then express a false judgment.".
• catalog description "Experience : The Agencies of Remaking : Original human nature always a factor in remaking human nature : ultimately nothing can change a will but itself. But Outer facts must furnish data and incentives : and the co-operation of outer and inner factors of change is "experience". We cannot distinguish between social and individual experience ; but we can distinguish between free experience and experience under social constraint.".

• catalog description "Why Men Sin : Sin cannot be causally explained ; It is not to be refered to the "stronger motive," nor to the "curve of learning" ; But [there may be] moral dilemmas ; the complete moral motive combines the ruing of evil with the attraction of good -- Sin as Status : Sin as deed cannot be original ; but there is a moral status ; And if the holy will is a status to be acquired, it is presumably not inborn ; A Moral status may be regarded as a matter of fact, and as such neither to be punished nor rewarded : [Does] such status [have] metaphysical implications [If so] the metaphysical assertion [that] sin involves finitude or mortality [is] a legitimate addition to the moral motive.".
