Download or read book An Introductory Study of Ethics Classic Reprint written by Warner Fite and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introductory Study of Ethics The study of conduct which is here offered to students and teachers of philosophy was begun with the intention of furnishing simply a plain statement of the existing ethical' situation, by which I mean an analysis of the moral problem and a definition of the several types of ethical theory. But it was found impossible to make a plain state ment without adopting a point of view for the definition of the problem and the theories in question. And in the search for a satisfactory point of view I have been led to a more or less independent reconstruction of the situation as a whole. In a study like ethics, where nothing can be uttered which has not been in a measure foreshadowed, it is difficult to know how far one has succeeded in really contributing to the discussion; yet I hope that the following pages may be found not only useful to students beginning the study but of interest to those already familiar with its problems.

Download or read book Self and Neighbour written by Edward W. Hirst and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Self and Neighbour: An Ethical Study The work that follows is a study in ethical theory. Its first part is historical and critical its second portion is a short essay in the Reconstruction of ethical doctrine. A review of the chief classical theories of morals will reveal in them, we think, the presence of a common defect. They are defective, as we try to show, in that they regard virtue, like health, as something which refers essentially to the individual, and which can be privately attained they imply that a man may be good in himself and all alone. The Kantian, and indeed nearly all modern, theory, ' says a recent writer, rests on the assumption that the individual is an end in himself.' 1 Few, of course, would dispute the fact that the individual is an end in himself in the sense that he is a moral agent, and is subject only to the constraint of his own conscience. Moralists, however, have tradition ally regarded the individual as an end in himself in a sense which seems to us inadmissible. They have virtually conceived his life as isolated and detached, and have supposed that, like some Robinson Crusoe, he could be good all alone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From the Physical to the Social Sciences: Introduction to a Study of Economic and Ethical Theory So far as most lawyers, judges and legal scholars are conscious of methods employed in their work, they avow three types of approach to the legal prob lems with which they deal. For convenience let them here be called the transcendental, the inductive and the practical methods respectively. The first two types purport to be wholly methodical and it is the absence of the methodology thus professed which is a differentiating characteristic of the third type. It is an interesting excursion to take some concrete legal problem of general interest and to watch the application of each of these three methods to it.

Download or read book The Ethical Theory of Hegel written by Hugh A. Reyburn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ethical Theory of Hegel: A Study of the Philosophy of Right Tins book was written for the most part before the war, and, save for a slight revision in the early part of 1915, is untouched by war influences In spite of the long delay which has ensued before publication, I have thought it better to leave my work as it stands. No doubt a very much better book could be written, but any alterations which I should be inclined to make at present would alter the purpose which the book is intended to serve. 'my intention was to write not on ethical and political theory but on Hegel, and. I have made no attempt to recast the Hegelian doctrine in the light of 'our present knowledge. A reconstruction of our modern problems and outlook on the basis of Hegel's teaching would be an exceedingly valuable contribution to knowledge, but it is a larger task than is attempted here. The first step toward it is a reasonable knowledge of the authentic Hegel himself, and it is only this step that I have tried to take. Much of the criticism of Hegel current to-day and in the last few years appears to be vitiated by an unsympathetic and somewhat inaccurate interpretation of Hegel, and my endeavour has been to provide an account which will make his view more intelligible. Accordingly criticism has been reduced to a minimum, and has been undertaken only when the comprehension of the theory itself seemed to demand it.' Nothing which I have seen since the book was first written has led me to alter my view of Hegel's teaching.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rational Good: A Study in the Logic of Practice The following chapters were originally written in 1908 - 9, in amplification of a sketch of ethical theory contained in my Morals in Evolution, which had been published three years earlier. I was not, however, satisfied with the result, and put the manuscript aside for several years. It has now been almost entirely re-written. My Obliga tions to various writers on Psychology and Ethics will be manifest, but the general theory which most nearly corresponds to the central doctrine of the work is one which I heard expounded in a paper read In New York in 1911 by a distinguished lecturer on Ethics, and have never met with again in print. Mr. J. A. Hobson kindly read the work in its original form, and made many valuable criticisms. Mr. A. W. Perris has performed the same service to the revised work, and several alterations and additions are due to his sugges tions. I have also to thank him for revising the proofs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study in the Psychology of Ethics The first half of the book covers the same ground as the articles in The Philosophical Review.' The criticism of current theories of emotion has been revised, but has not been materially altered. The chapters on The Nature of Emotion and The Primary Emotions have been amended, enlarged, and largely rewritten. The second half of the book deals with the primary principles of action and with the ethical significance of results attained throughout. The discussion of the notion of Worth, which appears in the concluding chapter, embodies some of the results of an article on Natural Selection in Ethics which was published in 1901 in 'the Philosophical Review.'
