Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive examination of the methods used in ethical theory, with a specific focus on the English intuitionist tradition. The author traces the development of ethical thought from its roots in ancient philosophy up to the present day, arguing that the search for a scientific foundation for ethics has been largely unsuccessful. Instead, the author proposes a psychological approach to ethics, one that is based on the idea that moral judgments are ultimately grounded in our subjective feelings and experiences. This approach is rooted in the work of British philosophers such as Shaftesbury, Hutcheson, and Butler, and it has been further developed by contemporary thinkers such as Martineau and Sidgwick. The author argues that this psychological approach provides a more satisfactory account of the nature of morality than either the scientific or the metaphysical approaches. It is able to explain the diversity of moral beliefs and practices across different cultures and historical periods, and it can also account for the fact that moral judgments are often subjective and context-dependent. Overall, this book is a valuable contribution to the field of ethics, and it will be of interest to anyone who is interested in the foundations of morality and the nature of moral judgment. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334282485_0
