Synopsis
Of Knowledge by James Burgh. The volume presents a comprehensive early modern treatise on virtue and the moral order, integrating natural religion with revealed religion. In Book II (continued), the author furnishes a rigorous account of Virtue, detailing how the mind should regulate its passions and appetites, and outlining a threefold duty to self, fellow-creatures, and the Creator. The work emphasizes self-knowledge, humility, and the governance of desires such as love, ambition, anger, fear, and greed, arguing that orderly passions are essential to happiness within a rational divine economy. It prescribes daily reflection, temperance, and benevolence, and condemns excess, drunkenness, avarice, and social vices, while praising moderation, industry, and virtue as instruments of personal and public welfare. The text further expands obligations to family, country, and social roles, and then introduces Book IV, On Revealed Religion, defending the legitimacy and utility of divine revelation, miracles, prophecy, and the Christian economy as a rational route to moral improvement and ultimate judgment.
