Excerpt from Ethics

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines ethics, the study of right and wrong, particularly the notion of the Right, the Good, and the Pleasant. The author considers various perspectives throughout history, including those positing pleasure as the sole good, and contrasting these with views that emphasize reason and morality. The author characterizes the arguments made by both Intuitionists and Teleological thinkers as they relate to this topic, presenting their diverse ways of understanding the nature of morality and human action. The book underscores the importance of the moral faculty within human nature, maintaining that our moral judgments are a unique and essential aspect of human consciousness. It ultimately suggests that ethical judgments, while distinct from mere personal feelings or desires, are nevertheless deeply rooted in our capacity for rational thought and our innate sense of right and wrong. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
