Excerpt from General Introduction to Ethics
Throughout history, men have been keenly interested in moral issues. A discussion always waxes interesting when it raises questions of justice and fair play, of honor and loyalty, of the rights and duties of individuals, classes of society, or nations.
We are all constantly expressing judgments regarding our own conduct and that of others. Some acts and motives we judge praiseworthy and good; others we deem blameworthy and wrong. We admire the characters of some persons and wish that we were more like them; other persons we regard with aversion and disapproval. This man, this labor union, this church, or this nation we applaud for standing courageously for rights that ought to be maintained at whatever cost. That woman, that corporation, that secret society, that state, we condemn for distasteful or immodest demeanor, for unfair com petition, for racial and religious intolerance, for bad faith in diplomatic relations. Such judgments, passed upon ourselves or other persons or groups, are moral judgments.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive study of moral judgments, tracing their historical evolution and examining their philosophical underpinnings. It begins by exploring the nature of moral judgments, distinguishing between unmoral (indifferent), immoral (bad), and moral (good) choices, and delving into the complexities of defining 'good' and 'bad'. The author then provides a detailed overview of the development of moral and social evolution, from the primitive horde to the paternal system and the rise of authority. Through comparative ethics, the book examines the moral consciousness of ancient Greece and Rome, the ethical teachings of Christianity, and the emergence of modern moral development. It also explores the interrelationship of ethics with psychology, politics, economics, sociology, religion, and metaphysics. The book concludes with an insightful analysis of the different ethical systems, including intuitionism, formalism, utilitarianism, and eudaemonism, highlighting their strengths and limitations.
