Providing a detailed examination of the social theory present within the ethics of C.I. Lewis, this work explores Lewis' conception of the good social order. It utilizes previously unpublished manuscript materials and presents his ideas from within the framework of his pragmatic philosophy as a whole, growing out of its positions on knowledge and value. It is hoped that Lewis' philosophy will emerge from this study as a consistent and cohesive whole possessing a profoundly pragmatic core.
