Download or read book The Theory of Good and Evil Vol 1 written by Hastings Rashdall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-16 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory of Good and Evil, Vol. 1: A Treatise on Moral Philosophy With regard to my criticism of the able work of Professor A. E. Taylor (the Problem of Conduct), I should wish to explain that the recent number of the Philosophical Review in which he withdraws his View about the merely apparent character of evil did not come into my hands till the whole of my criticism was printed and some of it had been finally passed for the press, though I had not failed to notice the change of tone already traceable in his Elements of Metaphysics. I can only therefore express my regret for having devoted so much space to the criticism of a position which its author has abandoned. It is useless for an author to offer apologies for the defects of a book which he is not compelled to write. In explanation Of such deficiencies of the present work as may arise from the absence of a more exhaustive knowledge of the literature bearing upon this and cognate subjects, I may, however, be allowed to plead, for the information of persons unacquainted with our English system of University teaching, that Oxford College Tutors are very far from possessing the leisure of a German or an American Professor, and that they have to choose between publishing imperfect work and not publishing at all. They may perhaps console themselves with the reflection that the method of individual teaching by means of essays and conversation gives them opportunities of appreciating the real wants of students which are hardly accessible to teachers who see their pupils only in the lecture-room. I have a strong feeling that the progress of knowledge, especially in the region Of Philosophy, is often retarded by an excessive shrinking from criticism, and by an indefinite postponement of publication in the hope of more completely satisfying an author's ideal.

Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Hume written by David Fate Norton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-12-08 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although best known for his contributions to the theory of knowledge, metaphysics, and philosophy of religion, Hume also influenced developments in the philosophy of mind, psychology, ethics, political and economic theory, political and social history, and aesthetic theory. The fifteen essays in this volume address all aspects of Hume's thought. The picture of him that emerges is that of a thinker who, though often critical to the point of scepticism, was nonetheless able to build on that scepticism a constructive, viable, and profoundly important view of the world. Also included in this volume are Hume's two brief autobiographies and a bibliography suited to those beginning their study of Hume. This second edition of one our most popular Companions includes six new essays and a new introduction, and the remaining essays have all been updated or revised.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Philosophy, Vol. 1 IN these times, when knowledge of all sorts is making such general progress, and science continually open ing further discoveries in nature, and also the means of practically applying them, it doubly imports that the moral progress - the progress of the mind - sh ould be equally attended to. I say, doubly; for first, the mind, as mind, is of most consequence, and that that therefore should be set in a state to take right views and form just conclusions, is the primary concern; for did not the mind first conceive, no action at all would follow, and where it conceives erroneously, ill effects result: secondly, therefore, when knowledge begins to enlighten mankind, and science, as now, to put power into their hands, by enabling them to lay hold, as it were, on the elements, -to use, and in some de gree, command them, - it is of vital importance that the directing mind should be enlarged with that increase of power. It would be dreadful, indeed, if the power were increased, but the mind not at the B. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Prudence written by Robert Hariman and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together scholars in classics, political philosophy, and rhetoric to analyze prudence as a distinctive and vital form of political intelligence. Through case studies from each of the major periods in the history of prudence, the authors identify neglected resources for political judgement in today's conditions of pluralism and interdependency. Three assumptions inform these essays: the many dimensions of prudence cannot be adequately represented in the lexicon of any single discipline; the Aristotelian focus on prudence as rational calculation needs to be balanced by the Ciceronian emphasis on prudence as discursive performance embedded in familiar social practices; and understanding prudence requires attention to how it operates thorough the communicative media and public discourses that constitute the political community.
Download or read book Science and Social Progress written by Herbert Wallace Schneider and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 82 pages. 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. "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 requirement. 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 conducive to the prescribed end. Your doctrines of 'expediency' or 'utility' or 'general good' or 'greatest happiness to the greatest number' 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?'" This eternal demand confronts us to-day with a more awful urgency than ever before. The times are bristling with urgent issues. Men and women are compelled to face them and to decide. There are not merely the whole host of petty personal problems, nor merely the familiar combats of local politics, nor even the greater issues of national life and polity.

Download or read book Anthony Ashley Cooper Third Earl of Shaftesbury written by Anthony Ashley Cooper and published by . This book was released on 1987-12-31 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diese beiden sehr unterschiedlichen Schriften sind die bekanntesten im Shaftesbury-Korpus. Die Inquiry bietet, fur Shaftesburys spateres Werk untypisch, eine streng argumentierende Darstellung seiner Moralphilosophie. Die Philosophische Rhapsodie hingegen ist ein kunstvoll in Szene gesetzter sokratischer Dialog, den Shaftesbury mit literarischer Eleganz an Geschmack und Erfordernisse seiner Epoche anpasst. Die Erstfassungen der beiden Schriften weichen stark von den endgultigen Texten in den Characteristicks ab, daher werden beide Fassungen jeweils absatzparallel wiedergegeben. The earliest published versions of both The Moralists and Inquiry underwent considerable revision before the final texts appeared in Shaftesbury's Characteristicks. The Standard Edition presents in each case a parallel text - the original treatise beside the finished product; readers will thus be able to follow the process of change. (For the German translation of both works see Volume II, 3.) The Moralists and Inquiry are possibly the best known of the writings in Characteristicks. Placed side by side to form the second volume of the Joint-Tracts, the two could in fact scarcely be more divergent. In Inquiry Shaftesbury uses stringent argumentation to set forth his moral philosophy: a Study of Happiness and Matter of Practice intended as manual on how to be good. Later, in Miscellaneous Reflections, the author of Inquiry would be described as a formal and profess'd Philosopher, a System-Writer, a Dogmatist, and Expounder - the self-ironicizing words of the Earl spoken in the persona of a critic. The Moralists, by contrast, is a masterly philosophical dialogue; clearly meant to evoke the Socratic tradition as represented by Plato and Xenophon, the form is used by Shaftesbury as a medium through which to create an elegant literary portrayal of contemporary people and issues. The resulting work is a classic of modern essays in the genre. - The two treatises encompass all central themes discussed in Characteristicks.
