Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book illuminates the rise of the individual, individualism, and their reflection in British ethics. The author tracks the transformation of ethics in the 17th and 18th centuries, characterized by the shift from religious and political themes to those of economics and social conditions. It examines how categories of interest and goodwill replaced law of God or man as the criteria for virtues, and explores the growing power of wealth and its impact on individual identity. A central theme is the concept of the individual, initially defined by the author as a force of sovereignty, then broadened by the internalization of moral law. The book discusses the emergence of universal benevolence as an ethical standard, highlighting the tension between the individual and the universal. Ultimately, the book showcases how this period laid the foundation for the recognition of individual rights and responsibilities, shaping the very fabric of modern society and ethical thought.
