Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Ethics: Adapted From the German of G. Von; Gizycki, Professor of Philosophy in the University of Berlin
In a similar way, upon special examination, I find that rules of duty have this in common they forbid a line of conduct that on the whole is hostile to the public interest, and command such as IS advantageous.
I admit that in many cases I approve of disregarding a general rule; for instance, the one which commands us to respect the property of others; as when I would throw goods overboard to keep a ship from Sinking, or blow up houses to prevent the spread of a fire. But in just these cases I find that the public welfare requires an exception to the general rule.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an accessible introduction to the philosophical examination of ethical theories, principles, and concepts. It presents the author's view that the principle of universal welfare is the highest moral guide to action. The author suggests that right and wrong are determined by whether or not an action advances or retards the general welfare, and that the worth of an action is determined by the amount of pleasure it produces or pain it prevents. The book explores the complexities of determining the consequences of an action, but argues that it is still our duty to act in accordance with the general welfare. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of considering the power of example and the influence of our actions on others, as well as the need to establish rules for special classes of cases. Ultimately, the book highlights the significance of moral reflection and the profound impact that our actions can have on the well-being of humanity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
