Excerpt from First Principles of Ethics: Designed as a Basis for Instruction in Ethical Science in Schools and Colleges
At the same time, I have hoped to pre sent a more orderly outline of the princi ples of the science, and supply a more rational foundation for them, than has usually been done in treatises on Ethics. The doctrine that right is conformity in conduct to the nature and reason of things, is not, indeed, a new doctrine, but it has been a good deal overlooked of late, and has never, perhaps, been fully and consistently carried out. Whether it has been in the present instance or not others Inustjudge.
Aiming at an orderly and consecutive development of the principles of the science, I have mtroduced the opinions of others but sparingly into the text. These have generally been reserved to the end, where they have been presented together, in the form of an Historical Ah stract, which, it is hoped, will' be found both interesting and profitable.

Excerpt from First Principles of Ethics: Designed as a Basis for Instruction in Ethical Science in Schools and Colleges
The favor with which my text-book on Intellectual Philosophy has been received, and the need which I have felt in my own classes of a similar book on Ethics, have induced me to add this to the many excellent treatises on that subject already in existence. The great enlargement of the list of studies in our schools and colleges, of late years, renders it more desirable than ever that text-books should be brief, presenting only essential principles, to the neglect of details, which may be supplied by the teacher, or by general reading. These considerations have determined the form of the present treatise.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, the latest work by the author, is an erudite and comprehensive guide to the principles of ethics. Morals are a vital aspect of human life, and are essential to civilization. The author sets out from the position that the rightness or wrongness of actions is not based on the nature of man, the will of God, or any external source. Instead, the parameters of right and wrong are embedded in the fundamental structure of reality itself. Actions are evaluated by contrasting them to the nature of the universe and our place within it. The author builds upon prior philosophical thought, yet also presents a fresh framework for understanding the theoretical basis of moral dilemmas, offering a pragmatic and logical approach to ethics that will appeal to the layperson and professional philosopher alike. By profoundly examining the relationship between actions and their consequences, this book provides indispensable insights into the fundamental principles of ethics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330391976_0
