If we urge that the Indian is not capable of judging as the cultured European, that really undermines the rock on which Intuitional Ethics is built. It would mean that we either subscribe to some form of Perfectionism; or we make morality depend upon something else which makes it, calls it forth step by step; any claim or explaining away to the contrary notwithstanding; such being then only a question of terms.
