Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginnings of Ethics Judging from the course of many writers of text books on Ethics, the references here found in foot notes may be deemed either pedantic or useless, or both. But this is not intended merely as a text-book for classes in institutions of learning. It hopes to do something to direct and stimulate thought upon ethi cal questions in the wider world of thinking and practical men. And surely it ought not to be useless to refer college students and all intelligent readers to other accessible and interesting discussions of the same subject, if they are likely to be helpful or con firmatory or suggestive in any way. It is not ex pected in these days that college students or other readers will confine themselves doggedly to some one text, and not wish to look beyond it.

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.

The remaining chapters of the book appear for the first time, except the first section of the final chapter, as indicated in the text.

Download or read book A Historical Introduction to Ethics Classic Reprint written by Thomas Verner Moore and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Historical Introduction to Ethics The criticism of moral systems constitutes a special section. In this way the repetition of objections which hold against a number of systems has been avoided. In the classroom, how ever, the author has departed from this plan. Students require and often request some kind of criticism before the lecturer passes from one system to another. The best plan in actual practice is to indicate the chief lines of criticism in concluding the analysis of an author, and toward the end of the course to summarize the various systems, giving a general and special criticism of the theories of morality. The collection of the points of criticism into one division, while having special advan tages in a printed work, need not interfere with the carrying out of the above method in practice, for it is a very easy matter to turn from one part of a book to another. In the choice of the types of ethical theory scarcely any two men would agree, and the author can scarcely hope to escape the accusation of most serious omissions. Some of these omissions will, however, be pardoned by one who bears in mind that the present work does not pretend to be a history of ethics, that the number of types must be relatively few, lest the student be lost in a maze of detail, and that the author can only hope to introduce the student to the field of ethical speculation.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Data of EthicsThe relations Of this work to works preceding it in the series, are such as to involve frequent reference. Contain ing, as it does, the outcome of principles set forth in each of them, I have found it impracticable to dispense with re-state ments Of those principles. Further, the presentation Of them in their relations to different ethical theories. Has made it needful, in every case, briefly to remind the reader what they are, and how they are derived. Hence an amount Of repetition which to some will probably appear tedious. I do not, however, much regret this almost unavoidable result; for only by varied iteration can alien conceptions be forced on reluctant minds.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Ethics and Modern Problems The history of moral philosophy, from the Greeks to the nineteenth-century Utilitarians, does not fall within the scope Of this book. Nor will it be necessary to examine in detail different types Of ethical theory, as has been done by Martineau, Sidgwick, Green, and many others. My plan is to take the Ethics Of the New Testament as embodying, on this side, the Chris tian revelation, and to bring these into comparison with the principles which seem to underlie the theory and practice Of the white races in our own day. In this book I am concerned only with Western civilisa tion; I have neither the knowledge nor the space for a consideration Of Asiatic peoples.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Ethics: An Introduction to Moral Philosophy This manual has been written with a special View to the wants and difficulties of University Extension students, to whom, in the first instance, the sub stance of it was given in a course of lectures. Though attempting to deal with the most recent phases of ethical problems, it does not profess to treat them in an original manner, but merely to apply to their solution ideas which, owing to the labours of the best thinkers of our own time and country, are now common property. Those of my readers who are acquainted with the course of. Modern thought in the field of Moral Philosophy will readily recognise the debt I owe to Kant and Hegel in Germany, and their most distinguished exponents, T. H. Green, and Professor Edward Caird in Great Britain. For those who are as yet beginners in philosophy, my best hope in writing this manual will be realised if they are stimulated by it to apply themselves to these and other perennial sources of philosophic inspiration.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moral Theory: An Introduction to Ethics After having suggested some possible criticisms of the theories worked out in these two books, I have then attempted to see whether it would not be possible to arrive at a satis factory positive result by a modification and development of one of them. This occupies the latter part of the book. But all the conclusions in this part are only put forward very tentatively and provisionally. They are intended to stimulate thought and to suggest problems rather than to give a definite solution of them. I owe a debt of gratitude to many friends who have helped me, directly or indirectly, in the preparation of this work. For direct help, I am indebted to my colleague, Prof. Alexander Mair, of this University, with whom I have been able to discuss many of the problems here treated to Mr. W. D. Ross, Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, who has been kind enough to give me his opinions on the chapters on Aristotle, which he read through in manuscript and, above all to Prof. J. H. Muirhead of the University of Birmingham, who has read through the whole of the book in manuscript, and made many valuable comments and suggestions. Mr. J. E. Turner of this University has helped me greatly in the work of correcting the proofs and preparing an index. Of all those who have helped me indirectly, I can say but little. But I must record a special debt of gratitude to my old tutor, Prof. J. A. Smith of Oxford, who first set me on the road to such understanding as I possess of Aristotle, and, through him, of Moral Philosophy in general and to my pupils in four Universities, with whom I have discussed these and kindred subjects, and from whom, in teaching, I have learned more than I can possibly have taught them.
