Excerpt from A Historical Introduction to Ethics
The criticism of moral systems constitutes a special section. In this way the repetition of objections which hold against a number of systems has been avoided. In the classroom, how ever, the author has departed from this plan. Students require and often request some kind of criticism before the lecturer passes from one system to another. The best plan in actual practice is to indicate the chief lines of criticism in concluding the analysis of an author, and toward the end of the course to summarize the various systems, giving a general and special criticism of the theories of morality. The collection of the points of criticism into one division, while having special advan tages in a printed work, need not interfere with the carrying out of the above method in practice, for it is a very easy matter to turn from one part of a book to another.
In the choice of the types of ethical theory scarcely any two men would agree, and the author can scarcely hope to escape the accusation of most serious omissions. Some of these omissions will, however, be pardoned by one who bears in mind that the present work does not pretend to be a history of ethics, that the number of types must be relatively few, lest the student be lost in a maze of detail, and that the author can only hope to introduce the student to the field of ethical speculation.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introductory guide to the history of ethics. Ethics is the study of morality and the author traces its evolution from the systems of conditionate morality to absolute morality. Morality depends on our subjective states and feelings, such as happiness, which is why the author begins with the concept of Utilitarianism, in which morality is based on utility and the greatest happiness of the greatest number. Other systems of conditionate morality are also explored. The author then discusses the shift to absolute morality, which is based on independent principles or relations, such as conscience. This includes the intuition of reason, a special faculty that senses morality, and the concept of duty, which is based on what an action should or should not be, rather than our feelings. Other systems of absolute morality are also analysed. This book is valuable for its comprehensive overview and analysis of the major ethical systems, providing insights into the historical development of morality and the profound questions it raises about human conduct and the meaning of life.
