The Elements Of Morality: Including Polity by William Whewell. This volume (Vol. II) of Whewell's expansive moral philosophy treats Religion and State, grounding morality in Natural Religion and Christian Revelation before extending to Christian Morality and the duties of individual affections, property, truth, purity, and obedience. It then shifts to Polity, outlining the duties and rights of the state, the social contract, constitutional theory, and the progress of government; it discusses the relation between church and state, and the proper place of Christian ordinances, the Lord’s Day, baptism, the Lord’s Supper, and marriage. The work further surveys international law and the rights and duties of states in war and peace, and culminates in an account of how nations interact, with considerations of justice, humanity, and the education of citizens. Whewell presents a unified theory that moral life requires both Reason and Religion, and that political order must balance liberty with tradition, authority, and religious culture.
