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.

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.
