The Science of Ethics: An Elementary System of Theoretical and Practical Morality (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Explore a clear, practical framework for everyday morality. This elementary system of ethics explains how duties arise, how they connect to character, and how they guide actions toward the common good.
Structured to illuminate both theory and practice, the work examines the moral life from the ground up—how duties to self, to family, to fellow beings, and to God shape responsible living. It treats topics ranging from the duties of the family and the state to the role of conscience, virtue, and religious practice, presenting a cohesive view of how right action fits into daily life.
- Foundations of duty: what grounds moral obligation and how it applies to body, character, and condition.
- How relationships matter: duties within the family, to friends, and in public life.
- Religious and civil dimensions: worship, law, rights, and the moral duties of the state.
- Practical guidance: recognizing right actions, balancing competing duties, and cultivating moral sensibility.
Ideal for readers seeking a structured, accessible account of ethics that connects timeless principles with everyday conduct.
