Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book endeavors to define the boundaries of ethics. The author first looks to human nature, beginning with an examination of its physical makeup, which is shared through all groups. Detailed scrutiny then turns to physical attributes specific to individuals and groups, such as race and sex, and how these influence the ethical life. Mental capacities are also examined, with the author arguing that, while natural forces affect the mind, they cannot wholly determine it. The author posits that the true nature of mind emerges with the faculty of reason, which allows comparison, analysis, and the discernment of objective connections. This in turn leads to an expansion of cognition and feeling and ultimately to the formation of morality. As the author observes, the moral aspect of human life asserts itself across cognitive, emotional, and volitional realms, and this book explores the full spectrum of the moral consciousness.
