Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Moral Science If men publish a code of laws or a system of rules which they denominate Moral Science, Ethics, or Ele ments of Morality, we have a right, it is our duty, to try that system by the standard which God has given us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Moral Science The author to whom I am under the greatest obligations is Bishop Butler. The chapter on Conscience is, as I suppose, but little more than a development of his ideas on the same subject. How much more I owe to this incomparable wri ter, I know not. As it was the study of his ser mons on human nature, that first turned my at tention to this Subject, there are, doubtless, many trains of thought which I have derived from him, but which I have not been able to trace to their source, as they have long since become incorpo rate% with my own reflections. The article on the abbath, as is stated in the text, is derived chiefly from the tract of Mr. J. J. Gurney, on the same subject. Entertaining those views of the Sacred Scriptures, which I have expressed in the work itself, it is scarcely necessary to add here, that] consider them the great source of moral truth; and that a system of ethics will be true, just in proportion as it. Develops their meaning. To do this has been my object; and to have, in ever so humble a manner, accomplished it, I shall consider as the greatest possible success.

Download or read book Moral Science written by Alexander Bain and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-05 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moral Science: A Compendium of Ethics The first division, entitled The Theory of Ethics, gives an account of the questions or points brought into discus sion, and handles at length the two of greatest prominence, the Ethical Standard, and the Moral Faculty. The second division - On The Ethical Systems - is a full detail of all the systems, ancient and modern, by conjoined Abstract and Summary. With few exceptions, an abstract is made of each author's exposition of his own theory, the fulness being measured by relative importance; While, for better comparing and remembering the several theories, they are summarized at the end, on a uniform plan. The connection of Ethics With Psychology is necessarily intimate; the leading ethical controversies involve a refer ence to mind, and can be settled only by a more thorough understanding of mental processes. Although the present volume is properly a continuation of the Manual of Psychology and the History of Philosophy, recently published, and contains occasional references to that treatise, it may still be perused as an independent work on the Ethical Doctrines and Systems.

Download or read book The Hindu System of Moral Science Classic Reprint written by Kishori Lal Sarkar and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-26 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hindu System of Moral Science IT has become the custom with the scholars of the West now-a-days, to extol highly the meta physics Of India. But at the same time they never forget to proclaim that her philosophy had never had the idea of considering ethics as a science independently - nay, that it had taught, at times, the idea that the state of super-conscious ness could be realised without even the attainment in life of a high ethical standard. An unbiased examination of the scriptures however, makes the matter appear in atotally different light. The elaborate consideration of the sas - the Sattwa, the Rajas, and the T amas - in them and of the effect of their influence on the subject and the Object alike, in the internal as well as in the external world, points clearly to the fact that their teaching had always been to the effect that the going beyond law could only be had through a faithful fulfilment of the ethical laws and that far from ignoring the ethical standard they had always given ethics and its practical application to human conduct, in every minute detail, their first and foremost consideration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Science and Social Progress: A Philosophical Introduction to Moral Science Give us a guide, cry men to the philosopher.1 We would escape from these miseries in which we are entangled. A better state is ever present to our imaginations, and we yearn after it; but all our efforts to realize it are fruitless We are weary of perpetual failures; tell us by what rule we may attain our desire. Have a little patience, returns the moralist, and I will give you my Opinion as to the mode of securing this greatest happiness to the greatest number. There again, exclaim the objectors, you mistake our require ment. We want something else than opinions. We have had enough Of them. Every futile scheme for the general good has been based on opinion; and we have no guarantee that your plan will not add one to the list of failures. Have you discovered a means of forming an infallible judgment? If not, you are, for aught we know, as much in the dark as ourselves. True, you have Obtained a clearer view of the end to be arrived at; but concerning the route leading to it, your offer of an opinion proves that you know nothing more certain than we do. We demur to your maxim because it is not what we wanted - a guide because it dictates no sure mode of securing the desideratum because it puts no veto on a mistaken policy; because it permits all actions bad, as readily as good - provided only the actors believe them con ducive to the prescribed end. Your doctrines of 'expediency' or utility or 'general good or 'greatest happiness to the greatest num ber afford not a solitary command of a practical character. Let but rulers think, or profess to think, that their measures will benefit the community, and your philosophy stands mute in the presence of the most egregious folly, or the blackest misconduct. This will not do for us. We seek a system that can return a definite answer when we ask Is this act good?'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moral Science: Or the Philosophy of Obligation The system here presented is developed from natural and rational facts and principles; but it will be found to be in harmony with the teaching of the Scriptures, and it is essentially the system of Christian Ethics. But refer ences to the Scriptures have not been made for the sake of establishing by the authority of Revelation the leading facts and principles of obligation.

Download or read book The Science of Ethics written by Henry Noble Day and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Ethics: An Elementary System of Theoretical and Practical Morality It has been the controlling design in the preparation of this work simply to introduce to ethical studies. After a careful analysis of an act of duty by which the essential constituents of duty are ascertained, the science is unfolded in the light of this analysis, with logical exactness, into a full presentation of its principles and truths in their due relations to one another - into a well-grounded, comprehensive, and organic system of theoretical and practical morality. The elementary character of the work has precluded the introduction of the historical and critical discussion, by which ethical literature is so generally characterized. The peculiarities of the treatise are to be found mainly in the analysis of the concrete act of duty which furnishes the fundamental principles of ethical science; in the systematic development and arrangement of these principles; in their application to the particulars of ethical practice; and the more full and detailed presentation of the practical part of ethics.

Download or read book A System of Moral Science written by Laurens P. Hickok and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A System of Moral Science Science subjects all the facts it uses to a controlling law, and by this law binds all its facts into an orderly system. No elements, however abundant, can become a philosophy without their determining principle. Moral Science must conform to this condition, and, moreover, must find its principle within the spiritual part of man's being. Nature, through all her successions, can reach no absolute rule, and can bind relatively only, according to her connections as found in experience. Her highest appeal is to self-interest, and can never awaken the feeling of spiritual worthiness. With such consequences, it is prudent to take such a direction; for the great revolving wheel will crush those who cross its course. But the spiritual is the supernatural; and nature must be for this, not this for nature. The moral law is above nature, not taken from nature. The virtuous man must say, "I am thus, and I live thus, because this only is worthy of my spiritual being;" not at all, "I stand here and do this, because otherwise the ongoings of nature would torment me." The following work has been prosecuted under the full conviction of such a twofold demand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Moral Science: Delivered Before the Lowell Institute, Boston Philosophy investigates causes, unities, and ends. Of these it is the last two that are chiefly considered in the following lectures. Happy, it has been said, is he who knows the causes of things. But in a world where there are so many apparent discrepancies both natural and moral, he must be more happy who knows the arrangement of things into systems, and sees how all these systems go to make up one greater system and to promote a common end. An investigation of causes respects the past; of unities and ends, the present and the future. Oi these the latter are more intimste to as, and he who can trace the principle of unity by which nature is harmonized with herself, and man with nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Ethics, Vol. 1: General Ethics Of modern Scholastic writers the author is most in debted to Professors Meyer and Cathrein, to Rev. Joseph Rickaby, Taparelli, Schififini, and Rev. Dr. Walter mcdonald, Maynooth College, whose treatises on Ethics have been of immense help to him in the preparation of his work. His most grateful thanks are due to the Rev. John Waters, b.a., of Clonliffe College, for his kindness in reading this book, and for very many valuable criticisms and suggestions. Father Waters' wide and minute acquaintance with the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas was always at the author's disposal in the difficult task of discovering and comparing the various references made by St. Thomas to any special Ethical question, references often occurring in places very wide apart, and under unpromising titles - titles apparently outside the, subject under discussion. Thanks are also due to those gentlemen who so kindly undertook the tedious and un interesting task of proof-reading, and to many others also for help given of various kinds.
