Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of morality and religion, arguing that the ultimate goal of human existence is private happiness. The author asserts that this happiness is inextricably linked to the will of God, which serves as the sole adequate rule for our actions. The book delves into the reasons and necessity for such a rule, examining the shortcomings of other proposed principles like innate moral sense and public affection. It further discusses the nature of obligation, the criterion of virtue, and the role of reason and truth in shaping our moral compass. By thoroughly analyzing these concepts, the book provides valuable insights into the foundations of moral behavior and the relationship between human conduct and divine purpose.

An Essay on the Origin of Evil, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the prevalent views on human morality, offering a fresh perspective that places the power of determining good and evil not in external objects or feelings, but within the individual's own will. The author argues that true freedom lies in the ability to choose independently of any inherent goodness, and that morality arises from the choices we make rather than from the nature of our actions. The book delves into the complexities of human decision-making, exploring the role of reason, desire, and the pursuit of happiness in shaping our moral choices. With its thought-provoking exploration of the nature of good and evil, this book is a valuable contribution to the field of ethics, challenging conventional notions and inviting readers to reconsider the foundations of morality.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complexities of the question of evil from a philosophical perspective. While many texts on the topic consider evil solely within the context of religious belief, the author takes a different approach. Instead, the book examines the nature of evil in a secular context, evaluating the strong points and weaknesses of different arguments that attempt to trace evil to its origin. Drawing upon a number of philosophical, logical and historical sources, this book provides a nuanced and illuminating approach to the topic that will be of interest to those with an interest in religion, philosophy, and the human condition.
