Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study in the Psychology of Ethics The first half of the book covers the same ground as the articles in The Philosophical Review.' The criticism of current theories of emotion has been revised, but has not been materially altered. The chapters on The Nature of Emotion and The Primary Emotions have been amended, enlarged, and largely rewritten. The second half of the book deals with the primary principles of action and with the ethical significance of results attained throughout. The discussion of the notion of Worth, which appears in the concluding chapter, embodies some of the results of an article on Natural Selection in Ethics which was published in 1901 in 'the Philosophical Review.' My obligations to different writers in ethics and psychology have been acknowledged, as far as possible, in the text. I desire, however, to ex press my special obligations to Professor James of Harvard. In the actual preparation of this volume I have received valuable criticisms and suggestions from Mr Norman Smith of the University of Glasgow. I am also indebted to Dr Albert Lefevre of Cornell University for the assistance he has rendered in reading the proofs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hints Toward a Theory of Ethics What I would that I do not, but what I hate that I do. It is the eternal conflict of the ought of duty and the desire of bodily appetite. It is a recognition of that ethical antithesis between what we call by the general name, duty, and pleasure, an antithesis which, on a more careful consideration, will reveal itself as in reality a conflict between different pleas ures for the ought or must of duty, properly understood, is as essentially a creature of pleasure.

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 Good Man and the Good: An Introduction to Ethics Many pages would be needed adequately to record my thanks to those who have helped me in my study of ethics. My acknowledgments must be limited to those who have aided directly in the preparation of the book: to my mother and my father, first of all; to my friends and colleagues, Professors Mary S. Case and Eleanor A. MCC. Gamble, expert critics, lavish of their time and their interest; and to one other - the brilliant, young sociologist, Carleton H.

Download or read book The Rational Good written by L. T. Hobhouse and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rational Good: A Study in the Logic of Practice The following chapters were originally written in 1908 - 9, in amplification of a sketch of ethical theory contained in my Morals in Evolution, which had been published three years earlier. I was not, however, satisfied with the result, and put the manuscript aside for several years. It has now been almost entirely re-written. My Obliga tions to various writers on Psychology and Ethics will be manifest, but the general theory which most nearly corresponds to the central doctrine of the work is one which I heard expounded in a paper read In New York in 1911 by a distinguished lecturer on Ethics, and have never met with again in print. Mr. J. A. Hobson kindly read the work in its original form, and made many valuable criticisms. Mr. A. W. Perris has performed the same service to the revised work, and several alterations and additions are due to his sugges tions. I have also to thank him for revising the proofs.

Download or read book The Value of a Study of Ethics written by James Gibson Hume and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-22 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Value of a Study of Ethics: An Inaugural Lecture Then, as everyone knows, the spirit of our age is scientific. The characteristic of Science is patient, thorough, systematic enquiry. Science needs no apology for its existence. It has established itself by doing its work, thus enforcing a lesson on the value of acting out our convictions if we wish others to believe in them. The in uence of scientific thought and literature is felt by the student before he enters the university, and no one can take a university training without becoming more or less familiar with scientific methods. Since Bacon wrote his Instauration of the Sciences and exposed the various that hinder the attainment of truth, authority has been discredited in science. One of the first things a student of science learns to do is to mistrust his previous opinions. In many enquiries they appear to him as mere prejudices, preventing him from seeing the truth and giving an impartial decision. We started with the assumption that we were to exclude all critical investigation of Ethics, and employ only the dogmatic method. But, as we have seen, the other in uences that we have enumerated all con cur in destroying the student's respect for the dogmatic method.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Human Behavior: In Relation to the Study of Educational, Social, and Ethical Problems The importance of the subject is obvious and has been tragically emphasized by the present world crisis. Little is known about man as he is. Imagination has supplied many of the details in the picture of what he was once sup posed to be, while disappointment associated with unrealized expectations of what he might have become has increased the difficulties of taking measure of his present stature. Parent, teacher, physician, student of social phenomena, prospective reformer, statesman, and philosopher, each has his special interest in the great human problem. To-day every intelligent citizen is anxiously awaiting the solution to the problem of how democracy may be made safe for the world. There can be little doubt that in the careful, painstaking study of man as he is will be found the means by which human institutions may be established upon a more rational basis and at least an intelligent effort made to lay the foundations of a durable peace.
