First Principles of Ethics: Designed as a Basis for Instruction in Ethical Science in Schools and Colleges (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Explore the practical science of ethics and learn how right action is determined in daily life.
This primer presents ethics as a practical, human science that studies the laws of right conduct. It explains how moral action is judged by its relation to nature, reason, and the duties we owe to others, both as individuals and within society.
You’ll discover how acts are analyzed beyond surface appearances, focusing on motive, intention, and the real aim behind every action. The text also outlines how truthfulness, justice, and benevolence shape our duties, and why reputation and truthfulness matter in everyday life.
- Formal definitions of right and wrong and how they apply to actions, motives, and outcomes
- Different grounds for moral judgment, including veracity, justice, and the good of others
- Practical guidance on evaluating motives and distinguishing truth from falsehood
- Foundational discussion of how ethics relates to personal responsibility and social duties
Ideal for readers of ethical philosophy and students seeking a clear, structured basis for moral assessment.

First Principles of Ethics (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, the latest work by the author, is an erudite and comprehensive guide to the principles of ethics. Morals are a vital aspect of human life, and are essential to civilization. The author sets out from the position that the rightness or wrongness of actions is not based on the nature of man, the will of God, or any external source. Instead, the parameters of right and wrong are embedded in the fundamental structure of reality itself. Actions are evaluated by contrasting them to the nature of the universe and our place within it. The author builds upon prior philosophical thought, yet also presents a fresh framework for understanding the theoretical basis of moral dilemmas, offering a pragmatic and logical approach to ethics that will appeal to the layperson and professional philosopher alike. By profoundly examining the relationship between actions and their consequences, this book provides indispensable insights into the fundamental principles of ethics.
