Synopsis
Excerpt from The Science of Ethics
The main purpose of this work on Ethics is to present to students of Moral Science a full and connected account of the ethical system of Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas. To this system the author gives his fullest assent and adherence, an adherence which is no mere blind acceptance of a tradition, but comes of a conviction which has grown stronger and clearer with time and study, that the general principles on which Aristotle builds furnish a thoroughly sound basis of moral enquiry, and that his method is such as to ensure continued development in accordance with the most rigid requirements of science. For Ethics is nothing more than a study of natural law, zle. The natural needs of man and the means of satisfying them, and the method employed by Aristotle is the direct determination of those needs by an empirical examination of our human constitution, our faculties and their essential functions and objects. Every natural normative science proceeds in this manner. Physiology determines the needs of the body by an examination of the organs, their functions and ends. Medicine supplies the means necessary for meeting these needs And not only the determination of our personal, but of our social necessities also, depends upon the same method. The natural welfare of the human race is found always in development within the range of our natural capacities and their essential objects.

The Science of Ethics, Vol. 1: General Ethics (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the science of human conduct, examining the principles that govern our actions and the role of reason in shaping our choices. The author traces this line of inquiry back to Aristotle, who, the book argues, laid the groundwork for a scientific approach to ethics. The book delves into the nature of human acts, exploring their voluntariness and the role of ignorance, passion, and violence in influencing our behavior. It then examines the concept of the ultimate end of human action, contrasting various philosophical perspectives on this crucial question. The author carefully considers the concepts of "good" and "evil," arguing that these distinctions are not simply subjective or arbitrary, but rooted in the nature of human beings and our relationship to the world. The book further analyzes the criteria we use to make moral judgments, exploring the role of reason, intuition, and social conventions. It considers the relationship between freedom and morality, and examines the nature of duty and its place in a rational ethical framework. By drawing upon a rich history of ethical thought and engaging with influential figures like Aristotle, Kant, and Hume, the author offers a comprehensive and insightful approach to the fundamental questions of human morality, ultimately arguing that a true understanding of ethical principles can guide us towards a fulfilling and meaningful life.
