Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the core principles of morality and how they relate to the governance of society. The author argues that a successful morality must be grounded in a conception of God as the creator and moral governor of humankind, because without this premise, all is mere expediency and selfishness, a system of means to an end, and that end man's self-development. The book goes on to examine the idea of obligation, which it argues cannot be constructed except upon the assumption of a God and the divine government of society; without this assumption, the author posits that there is no basis for duty and that the individual, society, and the state all become divine, and all social institutions become instruments by which God seeks to develop humanity into that spiritual perfection of which it seems capable, and which is the aim and end of man's labors and of God's providences.
