Inhaltsangabe

Function, Feeling, and Conduct: An Attempt to Find a Natural Basis for Ethical Law is a book written by Frederick Meakin in 1910. The book explores the concept of ethical law and attempts to find a natural basis for it. Meakin believes that ethical law is a necessary part of human society and that it is based on three fundamental aspects: function, feeling, and conduct. In the book, Meakin argues that the function of human beings is to survive and thrive, and that ethical law is necessary to ensure that individuals can do so in a way that benefits society as a whole. He also explores the role of feeling in ethical law, arguing that emotions such as empathy and compassion are essential for creating a just and equitable society. Finally, Meakin examines the role of conduct in ethical law, arguing that individuals must act in accordance with ethical principles in order to create a harmonious and just society. He explores various ethical theories and principles, including utilitarianism and the golden rule, and argues that they all share a common foundation in the natural world. Overall, Function, Feeling, and Conduct is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of ethical law and its role in human society. Meakin's insights and arguments are still relevant today, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in ethics, philosophy, or social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor

Natur hat weder Kern Noch Schale, Alles ist sie mit einemmale. Goethe. Hvtwv xp rx6.T tiiv ixirpov iffrlv (L p Opco Tros. Protagoras. OUR thought of nature is a denning and qualifying thought. We speak of nature, it is true, as infinite. And the mind, exploring nature, rests at no given term in its progress, but finds in each phase of the universal revelation, in element, atom, world, or system of worlds, the movement of exhaustless energy, the shifting barriers of interminable being changing through illimitable time. But though the minds progress were endless it were a process nevertheless of endless delimitation. Thought is thought of a more or less particularised content. Whatever we see, whatever we think, is, in the very fact that we think or see, qualified and so far defined. Nature is thus finite as object of thought, infinite as transcending any given process of thought. It is the function of thought to define; to seek for the source, essence, office, or end of its object.
