Principles and Practice of Morality: Or Ethical Principles Discussed and Applied (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Duty, Law, and Conscience offers practical guidance on civic duty and personal integrity for a responsible citizen.
This work examines how individuals relate to the state, the meaning of lawful obedience, and the foundations of moral action in public life. It helps readers understand why taxes, service, and honesty matter to a healthy society.
The text grounds duty in concrete, everyday choices. It discusses supporting government, risking personal sacrifice for the common good, and the obligation to follow laws—when they align with moral principles. It also explores the nature of the state as a unified political will and the personal responsibilities that flow from being a citizen.
- How citizens fulfill their share of funding and support for government.
- The duty to comply with laws and the balance between conscience and legality.
- Honesty in dealings with the state and the consequences of evading obligations.
- Foundational ideas about the origin of the state and the meaning of civic responsibility.
Ideal for readers of ethics, civics, and political philosophy seeking a clear, historically grounded view of civic responsibility.
