Excerpt from An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals
There has been a controversy started of late, much better worth examination, concerning the general foundation of Morals whether they be derived from Reason, or from Sentiment; whether we attain the knowledge of them by a chain of argument and induc tion, or by an immediate feeling and finer internal sense; whether, like all sound judgement of truth and falsehood, they should be the same to every rational intelligent being; or whether, like the perception of beauty and deformity, they be founded entirely on the particular fabric and constitution of the human species.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an inquiry into the principles of morals, their historical context, and the thematic ideas connected to the subject. The author begins with a discussion of moral distinctions, and how, despite there being a universal agreement that certain actions and behaviors warrant esteem or contempt, there is no universal standard for these judgments due to our varied upbringings and beliefs. The author then proceeds to analyze the concept of benevolence, and how it is praised in society as the source of many virtues. The author determines that utility, or the usefulness of a benevolent act, is at least a partial source of our approbation and admiration of benevolence and similar virtues. The author then moves on to a discussion of justice, contrasting it with benevolence to show how our concepts of right and wrong may differ depending on our relationship to an individual or our understanding of the benefits or drawbacks of an action. The author posits that justice is ultimately rooted in utility, and that this can be seen in the historical development of rules and laws. Overall, this book is a wide -ranging and thoughtful exploration of the principles of morals, and the author's insights are valuable for anyone interested in understanding this complex subject. 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 9781334282522_0
