Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in Literature and Ethics The following pages consist of selections from the literary remains of the late Rev. William Anderson o'conor, and are fairly representative of his intellectual powers Whilst not exhaustive of the material placed at the disposal of the editor. Should the present volume be received With favour, there are sufficient uncollected papers to form a second series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays, Literary, Moral and Political Some people are subject to a certain delicacy of passion, which makes them extremely sensible to all the accidents of life, and gives them a lively joy upon every prosperous event, as well as a piercing grief, when they meet with misfortunes and adversity. Favours and good offices easily engage their friendship while the smallest injury provokes their resentment. Any honour or mark of distinction elevates them above measure; but they are as sensibly touched with contempt. People of this character have, no doubt, more lively enjoyments, as well as more pungent sorrows, than men of cool and sedate tempers but, I believe, when everything is balanced, there is no one, who would not rather be of the latter character, were he entirely master of his own disposition. Good or ill fortune Is very little at our disposal: and when a pe_r_son. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Essays in Ethics Classic Reprint written by John M. Robertson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in Ethics The following essays, as the headings tell, were for the most part delivered as lectures. Naturally some, if not all, were denounced by some who heard them as essayish and I hereby own the justice of the imputation. It is difficult to make abstract ethics actual, and no less so to keep applied ethics free of priggishness. Something went wrong, perhaps, when the term ethics \was generally substituted for morals. Given the drawbacks, however, certain problems have to be discussed and the ensuing pleas seemed to me to need to be put. Perhaps the case that now least needs urging is that put in the essay on The Ethics of Vivi Section, in part a criticism of positions which I believe are now abandoned by most, if not all, of the Opponents of cruel experiments upon animals. But the analysis there undertaken is in itself, I hope, not useless; and in a Postscript I have sought to indicate what I consider the sound line of resistance.

Download or read book Essays in Jurisprudence and Ethics Classic Reprint written by Frederick Pollock and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-18 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in Jurisprudence and Ethics The substance of the following Essays has appeared in divers journals and reviews in the course of the last seven years. My first duty is to return my best thanks to the proprietors and editors of those publica tions for the consent they have freely given to the present reproduction. Some additions and rearrange ments have been made, and a few passages have been worked in from articles on kindred subjects which for one or another reason did not seem worth reprinting separately. No unity of design will be expected in a work thus composed of occasional pieces; but I hope that so much unity of purpose and ideas may nevertheless be found in it as will give it a certain measure of coherence. The essays fall into two divisions, in the first of which legal topics predominate, in the second ethical. In' the first it has been my aim to consider legal ideas and institutions as affected by or affecting the wider interests of history, politics, and practical legislation. In the second I have endeavoured to bring to a better defined issue certain points of ethi cal discussion by the help of distinctions founded on familiar legal conceptions, and by specifically applying those conceptions and distinctions to admitted facts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays, Moral, Political, and Literary, Vol. 1 of 2 Most of the principles, and reasonings, contained in this volume, were published in a work in three volumes, called A Treatise of Human Nature A work which the Author had projected before he College, and which he wrote and published not long after. But not finding it successful, he was sensible of his error in going to the press too early, and he cast the whole anew in the following pieces, where some negligences in his former reasoning and more in the expres sion, are, he hopes, corrected. Yet several writers, who have honoured the Author's Philosophy with answers, have taken care to direct all their batteries against the juvenile work, which the Author never acknowledged, and have affected to triumph in any advantages, which, they imagined. They had obtained over it: A practice very contrary to all rules of candour and fairodealing, and a strong instance of those polemical artifices, which a bigotted zeal thinks itself author ised to employ. Henceforth, the Author desires, that the following Pieces may alone be regarded as containing his philosophical senments and principles) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Human Nature: Essays (Partly Posthumous) In Ethics and Politics The following essays are drawn from the chapters entitled Zur Ethik and Zur Rechtslehre und Politik which are to be found both in Schopenhauer's Parerga and in his posthumous writings. As in my previous volumes, so also in this, I have omitted a few passages which appeared to me to be either antiquated or no longer of any general interest. For convenience' sake I have divided the original chapters into sections, which I have had to name; and I have also had to invent a title which should express their real scope. The reader will find that it is not so much Ethics and Politics that are here treated, as human nature itself in various aspects.

Download or read book Realism Ethics and Secularism written by George Levine and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-09 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Levine is one of the world's leading scholars of Victorian literature and culture. This collection of his essays develops the key themes of his work: the intersection of nineteenth-century British literature, culture and science and the relation of knowledge and truth to ethics. The essays offer perspectives on George Eliot, Thackeray, the Positivists, and the Scientific Naturalists, and reassess the complex relationship between Ruskin and Darwin. In readings of Lawrence and Coetzee, Levine addresses Victorian and modern efforts to push beyond the limits of realist art by testing its aesthetic and epistemological limits in engagement with the self and the other. Some of Levine's most important contributions to the field are reprinted, in revised and updated form, alongside previously unpublished material. Together, these essays cohere into an exploration both of Victorian literature and culture and of ethical, epistemological, and aesthetic problems fundamental to our own times.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Morality of Woman: And Other Essays The customary objection to this tenet is that those who propose it forget all other ethical duties and legitimate feelings in order to make the sex relationship the center of existence, and love the sole decisive point of view in questions con cerning this relationship. But if we except the struggle for existence which indeed must be called not a relationship of life but a condition of life what then can be more central for man, than a condi tion decreed by the laws of earthly life the cause of his own origin? Can one imagine a moment which penetrates more deeply his whole being? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Ethics: A Collection of Addresses and Essays Along with these addresses I have included four papers, having, either in whole or in part, similarly practical aims. Two of these, on Public Morality and Clerical Veracity, and part of a third, on the Pursuit of Culture, are published here for the first time. I have placed each of the three either before or after the address that appeared most cognate in subject. The connection is closest in the case of the paper on Clerical Veracity; which is, in fact, a fuller exposition - called forth by contro versy - Of my views on a portion of the subject of the address that precedes it. The last paper in the volume - on Unreasonable Action - I have not included without some hesitation, as it was written primarily from a psychological rather than a practical point of view: but on the whole it appeared to me to have sufi'icient ethical interest to justify its inclusion.
