Dr. Gore ... has been saying some very naughty things on morality ...

Dr. Gore in the Westminster Review has been saying some very naughty things on morality, and the moralists are after him tooth and nail. He has even gone so far as to say that there is no evil, because the universe is perfect. It must not be inferred from this that Dr. Gore has enunciated a profound truth, or that he sustains his statements with faultless logic; but he does say that there is no distinction between a moral and an immoral act, which shows that he has seen a glimmering of the truth. However when he prates about this being a sound basis for the much-desired government by love, we are relieved from concluding that we have discovered a new egoist philosopher. Dr. Gore has studied Darwin with some profit; it would now be not a bad idea for him to take up Nietzsche.
