The moral life of man is the continuation of His biological development. Creating new moral ideas out of our "moral imagination" - as, for instance, Gandhi's "non-violence," or Albert Schweitzer's "reverence for life" - is a "jump" in evolution comparable to the "jump" Which Creates a new species in the plant or animal kingdom. - HUGO S. BERGMAN
