Further than this a strictly scientific ethics does not go, and, moreover, further than this no intellectually honest man will go. Right simply means what people use the word to signify,—employing it either as a gesture to point out some object or relationship in the environment, or else as an index of what sort of behavior may be expected of them in the future. Accordingly, all insistence on a “higher and immutable right” as _the one real_ meaning of the term is either a sign of mal-observation or of logorrhea. And if anyone still insists on knowing how one determines what is _right_, we refer such a person to our array of 114 terms, where in each case the basis for such determination can be inferred. But if such a person still demands an ultimate and irrefutable criterion, the only thing left for him to do is to attempt to be God; but it is suggested in advance that the role of deity might, under the circumstances, be even more difficult to play than the more familiar rôle of man. FOOTNOTES: [11] Class A is divided into the following sub-classes: I. Straight. 1. That which is not bent, curved, or crooked in any way; for example, a _straight_ line. 2. That which is formed by, or with reference to, a line drawn to another line or surface by the shortest course (i. e., a perpendicular), as, for example, _right_ line, _right_ angle, _right_ ascension, etc. 3. Used to describe solid figures having the ends or base at an angle of 90 degrees with the axis, e. g., _right_ solid, _right_ sphere, _right_ cone, _right_ helicoid, etc. 4. _Right_ circle; in the stereographic projection, a circle represented by a straight line. 5. _Right_ line pen; one that is adapted especially for ruling lines. II. Direct. 6. The shortest course; that which keeps one and the same direction throughout. 7. That which goes straight to its destination. Compare: “Right across the track.” III. Immediately. (Compare “directly.”) 8. Suddenly, at once; e. g., “He went _right_ home.” “_Right_ up the mountain.” “Let thine eyes look _right_ on.” “He went _right_ off.” 9. _Right_ away, _right_ here, _right_ now, _right_ down (Cf. downright). “These strata falling, the whole tract sinks down ‘to rights’ in the abyss.” IV. Idiomatic uses derived from the foregoing. 10. In hunting, the scent or track of the game. “The dogs have got the _right_.” 11. “_Right_ the helm,” that is, put it in line with the keel. 12. “_Right_ aft,” that is, in direct line with the axis and stern of the ship. [12] This class includes: 22. “You say not _right_, old man.” 23. “A _right_ description of our sport, my Lord.” 24. “There hath been a terrible to-do, I could not possibly learn the very _right_ of it.” 25. “You are certainly in the _right_.”
