Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Examination of the Utilitarian Theory of Morals The value of well-founded doctrines in morals, both to the individual and to society, is of great moment in this age of independent research, and almost restless enquiry, when some even venture to propose reconstruction in religion and morals. Reflection on such things led the writer to examine and compare the two leading opposite schools of Moralists, with a view to discover the merits of their respective claims to acceptance. The result, in the form of a brief summary, is contained in the following pages. No one can be more sensible than the writer, of the many imperfections in the attempt he has made to carry out his purpose, yet it is felt that the careful reader can scarcely fail to be helped to see the inadequacy of the Utilitarian System, and the sufficiency of the Intuitional Theory, to answer all the demands of an ethical system. Ethical Empiricism is radically defective. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I was led, in connexion with this, to put together the intellectual views on which the moral view rested, which had something of the character of prolegomena to it, and had meant, if they should come within reasonable limits, to publish them in an Appendix He afterwards altered his mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Examination of the Utilitarian Theory of Morals This little treatise is but an unpretending contribution in the department of Moral Science. Written by snatches amid the varied duties of ministerial life, it lays no claim either to be profound in matter, or complete in form. Much less does it pretend to any originality The practical importance of correct views on the questions of Moral Science may be underestimated. Sound ethical principles are closely related to religion, just as the Theistic position is vital to sound opinions touching ethical principles. An attempt is made to keep this in view in these pages. The value of well-founded doctrines in morals, both to the individual and to society, is of great moment in this age of independent research, and almost restless enquiry, when some even venture to propose reconstruction in religion and morals. Reflection on such things Jed the writer to examine and compare the two leading opposite schools of Moralists, with a view to discover the merits of their respective claims to acceptance. The result, in the form of a brief summary, is contained in the following pages. No one can be more sensible than the writer, of the many imperfections in the attempt he has made to carry out his purpose, yet it is felt that the careful reader can scarcely fail to be helped to see the inadequacy of the Utilitarian System, and the sufficiency of the Intuitional Theory, to answer all the demands of an ethical system. Ethical Empiricism is radically defective. In regard to the plan of the work, it is proper to state that fault may be found with the method of treatment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Utilitarianism The difficulty is not avoided byl having recourse to the popular theory of a natural faculty, a sense or instinct, informing us of right and wrong. For besides that the existence of such a moral instinct is itself one of the matters in dispute - those believers in it who have any pretensions to philosophy have been obliged to abandon the idea that it discerns what is right or wrong in the particular case In hand, as our other senses discern the sight or sound actually present. Our moral faculty, according to all those of its interpreters who are entitled to the name of thinkers, supplies us only with the general principles of moral judgments; it is a branch of our reason, not of our sensitive faculty; and must be looked to for the abstract doctrines of morality, not for percep tion of it in the concrete. The intuitive, no less than what may be termed the inductive, school of ethics insists on the necessity of general laws. They both agree that the morality of an individual action is not a question of direct perception, but of the application of alaw to an individual case. They recognize also, to a great extent, the same moral laws but differ as to their evidence, and the source from which they derive their authority. According to the one opinion.

Download or read book Morality Utilitarianism and Rights written by Richard B. Brandt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1992-06-26 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Brandt is one of the most eminent and influential of contemporary moral philosophers. His work has been concerned with how to justify what is good or right not by reliance on intuitions or theories about what moral words mean but by the explanation of moral psychology and the description of what it is to value something, or to think it immoral. His approach thus stands in marked contrast to the influential work of John Rawls. The essays reprinted in this collection span a period of almost 30 years and include many classic pieces in metaethical and normative ethical theory. The collection is aimed at both those moral philosophers familiar with Brandt's work and at those philosophers who may be largely unfamiliar with his work. The latter group will be struck by the lucid unpretentious style and the cumulative weight of Brandt's contributions to topics that remain at the forefront of moral philosophy.
Download or read book The Aesthetic Element in Morality and Its Place in an Utilitarian Theory of Morals Classic Reprint written by Frank Chapman Sharp and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Aesthetic Element in Morality and Its Place in an Utilitarian Theory of Morals Moral systems may be divided into two great classes, teleological (to use a happy term introduced by Prof. Paulsen) and if we may venture upon another inv novation in terminology deontologz'cal. The former looks upon all morality as the product of an ideal, the latter as having its essence in the feeling of obligation; the one starts out from the idea of the good, the other from the idea of ought or duty; the one is interested before all else in the inquiry as to the worth of the various possible ends of human activity, the other as to the origin and validity of the idea of obligation. Among representatives of the former class, two different sorts of ideals have been proposed, the one by the Utilitarians the egoistic and the altruistic who present as the final end of action the happiness of the individual, or of mankind respectively; the other by those who hold up character as the proper end, or as it is sometimes termed self-culture, or self-realization. This is identical With what the Eighteenth Century called perfection, but the term is extremely objectionable as substituting for the name of a definite quality, a word which merely signifies the agreement of things in general with any ideal that may have been previously formed of them. Among recent writers this position has been cham pioned by Prof. Paulsen Where the ideal in question is presented as recommending itself purely on its own merits, and by the late Thomas Bill Green, Who backs it up by metaphysical considerations Which give his system a touch of the deontological. Of the second class. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of English Utilitarianism Since, then. We have no adequate history of English Ethics, the attempt has been made in this volume to coverapartofthegroundbytracingtherbeand de velopment of Utilitarianism in England. No one of the writers considered - not even Hume or Mill - is individ ually of such importance for English Ethics as Bishop Butler; but, taken as a whole, Utilitarianism may fairly be regarded as England's most characteristic, if not most important, contribution to the development of ethical theory. This being the case, its history certainly deserves careful and somewhat extended treatment. The author hopes that. Whatever may be the shortcomings of the following chapters, he will not be accused of treating the subject either carelessly or in a partisan spirit The greater partofthematterofthefirst fivechapters basal mdyappeared as aserieaof articles in the Philo W Review (published from May.

Book excerpt: John Stuart Mill 's book Utilitarianism is a classical philosophical analysis and defense of utilitarianism. The essay first appeared as a series of three articles published in Fraser 's Magazine in 1861, the articles were collected and reprinted as a single book in 1863. Mill 's goal in the book is to explain what utilitarianism is, to show why it is the best theory of ethics, and to defend it against a wide range of criticisms and misunderstandings. Although heavily criticized both in Mill 's lifetime and in the years since, Utilitarianism has made a great contribution to popularizing utilitarian ethics and has been considered the "most influential philosophical articulation of a liberal humanist morality"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1.1 Utilitarian Theories This book is a monograph on moral philosophy and social philosophy, particularly the part of the philosophy of economics that is related to the general distribution problem. It presents a comprehensive ethical theory, together with an application of the theory to distributive justice. The viewpoint of this theory is utilitarian. However, this theory is different in some crucial points, as well as in minor details, from all existing forms of utilitarianism. Moral philosophy deals essentially with the moral judgment of actions, i. e., whether a moral action is right or wrong, good or bad. The judgment is usually based on a line of logical reasoning, which can be traced to a final reason called the justification or ultimate principle. An ethical theory is a self-consistent system built upon a basic, or ultimate, principle. An ultimate principle can never be rigorously proven, and is not unique. Different philosophers establish different ethical theories upon different principles. Therefore, in the history of development of moral philosophy, there have been a large number of ethical theories and schools. Even wi thin the same school having the same ultimate principle, different philosophers may have different versions of the theory, because of small variations in the interpretation of the ultimate principle or in the elaboration of the details.
