This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sociology, Popular Lectures and Discussions Before the Brooklyn Ethical Association Evolution - Sociology - points to the safer and wiser way of individual enlightenment and moral education. It studies care fully the past history of man, that it may act wisely for the amelioration of his present condition. It aims directly at the improvement of individual character. It seeks not so much to antagonize the schemes of social reformers as to subject them all to the Operation of the principle of Natural Selection - wisely to choose what is instructive and good in each; wisely to take such forward steps as are practicable and may be securely held; to substitute the method of evolution for that of violent and spasmodic change, and thus to promote, surely if slowly, the permanent welfare of societies and individuals. If this book - the thoughtful contribution of free individuals working with no selfish aims or conscious dogmatic or partisan bias - shall be of some slight service in forwarding this most worthy and desirable end, in promoting scientific thought and wise action on the pressing problems Of social life, the labors which have brought it into being will be abundantly repaid.

Download or read book A Supplement to the Second Edition of the Methods of Ethics Classic Reprint written by Henry Sidgwick and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Supplement to the Second Edition of the Methods of Ethics 1 (p. 1, l. An Objection is sometimes taken to the application of the term 'science' to such studies as these. It is said that a Science must necessarily have some department of actual existence for its subject-matter: and. There is no doubt that the term Ethical Science might, according to usage, denote studies that deal with the actually existent: viz. Either the department of Psychology that deals with pleasures and pains, desires and volitions, moral sentiments and judgments, as actual phenomena of individual human minds; or the department of Sociology dealing with similar phenomena, as exhibited by the larger organizations of which individual human beings are ele ments. We Observe, however, that comparatively few persons pursue these studies from pure curiosity, in order merely to ascertain what actually exists, has existed, or will exist in time. Most men wish not only to understand human action, but also to regulate it; they apply the ideas 'good' and 'bad, ' 'right' and 'wrong, ' to the conduct or institutions which they describe; and thus pass, as I should say, from the point of View. Of Psychology or Sociology to the point of View of Ethics or Politics. It is true that the mutual implication Of the two kinds of study is, on any theory, very close and complete, though the precise nature and extent of their connexion is.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Ethics The most considerable alterations, however, occur in Book I. I have thought it desirable to add a good deal of new material on the development of the moral life and of the moral judgment. It may be held that these sub jests belong more properly to Sociology and Psychology than to Ethics in the stricter sense; but I have found that their absence is a more serious defect than their presence. I have also added, at the beginning of Book II., a short historical account of the leading points of view in ethical.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Inductions of Ethics, And, the Ethics of Individual Life: Being Parts II and III of the Principles of Ethics As explained in the original preface fixed to Part I, that part was written, and issued by itself in 1879, under the im pression that ill-health might wholly prevent me from treat ing the subject of Ethics, if I waited till it was reached in the prescribed course of my work. More than ten years followed, partly occupied in further elaboration of T ice Principles of Sociology, and partly passed in a state of prostration which prevented all serious work. Along with partial recovery there came the decision to write at once the most important of the further divisions of The Prin ciples of Ethics - Part IV: Justice. This was issued sepa rately in June, 1891. As stated in the preface to it, I pro posed thereafter to write, if possible, Parts II and III, completing the first volume. This purpose has fortunately now been compassed; and Parts II and III are herewith issued, as proposed in the original programme.

Download or read book Professional Ethics and Civic Morals Classic Reprint written by Emile Durkheim and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Professional Ethics and Civic Morals His work, brought out by the Faculty of Law in the University of Istanbul, is a collection of some hitherto unpublished lectures of Emile Durkheim. In 1934, in Paris, I had set about the writing of a thesis for a doctorate in law on The Concept of the State held by the Pioneers in the French School of Sociology. It then seemed to me that before all else I must make a study of the precise ideas and thought of Durkheim, as founder of this school, on the problem of the State. As a sociologist, Durkheim had made no special study of this problem and was satisfied in his published works merely to raise certain questions relative to it. On that account I came to the conclusion that relevant and detailed exposition might perhaps be found in his unpublished work, if any such existed. To this end I approached the well-known ethnographer Marcel Mauss, the nephew of Durkheim. He received me most cordially and spoke of his great feeling for Turkey, which he had visited in 1908. He then went on to show me a number of manuscripts with the title The Nature of Morals and of Rights. These, he said, were a course of lectures given by Durkheim between the years 1890 and 1900 at Bordeaux and repeated at the Sorbonne, first in 1904, and then in 1912, and revived in lectures some years before his death. Mauss had no hesitation in entrusting them to me, a fact which I recall with pleasure, and he handed over to me at my request a typescript copy of part of the manuscripts likely to be of especial interest to me. I take this opportunity of paying tribute to the memory of the late scholar: I owe him a debt for his invaluable help.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ethics and Moral Science Undoubtedly, if ethical facts are considered from the outside, objectively, and in their relation to other social facts, they seem to belong to the same category, and consequently to be objects of science as they are. But so long as they are manifested subjectively in consciousness under the form of duties, remorse, feelings of blame, praise, etc., they possess an entirely different character. They seem to relate exclusively to action, and to depend solely on principles of practice. Oi the two conceptions the first is unusual, the second universally received. It is not less familiar to philosophy than to common sense, and has never shocked any one. The other is proper to scientific sociology which puts forth as a principle that ethical facts are social facts, and which concludes that the same method applies to one as to the other. It nearly always awakes a feeling of instinctive distrust in those who are not accus tomed_to look at things in that manner.

Download or read book The Elements of Social Justice Classic Reprint written by L. T. Hobhouse and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Social Justice The subject of this book is the social application of the ethical principles explained by the writer in The Rational Good. These principles are summarized in Chapter I so as to be intelligible without reference to the preceding work, to which the reader is referred for the fuller state ment of the arguments on which they are based. The treatment as here developed is therefore in form deduc tive, but this is not to say that it is an attempt to apply abstract principles without experience. On the contrary, the only valid principles are those that emerge out of our experience, and the function of the highest generaliza tions is to knit our partial views together in a consistent whole. That our social philosophy must form such a whole and that our social efforts suffer from lack of articulate statement and rational coherence is only too palpable. To promote unity of aim among men of good will and lay a basis of co-operation between those attacking different sides of the social problem is a practical problem of the highest importance.

He said it was an aspiration; and, while the answer was given to slur the science of sociology as something nebulous and incomprehensible, it has in it great truth. For the aim of society in all its regulations is to reach an ideal state, in which all units, individual and social, Shall be happy, and shall in their methods conduce to the happiness of all.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Man and the State: Studies in Applied Sociology; Popular Lectures and Discussions Before the Brooklyn Ethical Association Questions dividing the public mind have herein, as far as possible, been presented from contrasting points of view with candor and fair ness, thc advocates of each aiming to justify their positions by appeals to the scientific method and the recognized principles of social evo lation. This we believe renders these lectures in their printed form adapted to sustain the interest of the reader as they did that of the large and intelligent audiences which attended their oral delivery, and to provoke fruitful thought and wise action on political issues as cer tainly as the ordinary heated appeal of the emotional orator, unhap pily too familiar in our political campaigns, serves to produce the contrary effect of intensifying preconceived and unscientific partisan prejudices. Recognizing with Mr. Herbert Spencer that the end which the statesman should keep in view as higher than all other ends is the formation of character, the ethical bearing of the topics under dis cussion has been kept steadily in mind. Nor have we failed to remem ber with Prof. Le Conte that the most potent factor in human prog ress is not found in organic evolution, but in the voluntary co-opera tion of man in his own evolution.
