Philosophy of Will Durant

(1926)

According to 'Ethan God' (Quora profile), Will Durant's definition of morality is: 

“[M]orals are the rules by which a society exhorts its members to behaviour consistent with its order, security, and growth.”

The question is whether such a morality can sustain individual liberty? And does this morality rely secretly on individual morals, whether liberated or not?

How does Durant's morality respond, if at all, to the paradigm of the noble and the debt collector from Hegel?

Durant appears to simply swallow questions in a view to satisfying them.

The result of Durant is an unsatisfied yet satisfied feeling of realistic questions taken far away from their potential maximization as problems.

The ultimate feeling is actually unsatisfied, but far more satisfying someways than the questions this feeling pertains to.

We are left not quite knowing, but somehow feeling, that questions evolve by this feeling of mild satisfaction, but that, fortunately or not, no further progress is necessary.

Then, looking into alternatives becomes an arduous task. There is however, still a place for words.

(Apologies to any similar sources, Durant seems to force this response when the topic is that particular quote).
