Présentation de l'éditeur
Dean South, to prepossess the mind by representing bad things under a good name. Hence the need of revising our definitions and verifying them by comparison with facts. TEMPERANCE is a word in everybodys mouth; yet what particular actions it commands, or forbids, and why, are points generally unsettled. This is rather owing to the fact that people are not taught to think in a precise method, than to anything hard or obscure in the nature of the subject itself. A very simple process of reasoning will bring every honest and candid mind to the true use of words upon this matter. All persons are agreed that Temperance is at least a moral virtue, and consequently concerns a course of life dictated by the intellectual and moral powers. It is the governing of passion and appetite ;therefore, it can never be the mere gratification of them.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the multifaceted nature of temperance, offering a detailed examination of its historical significance, chemical composition, and moral underpinnings. The author delves into the complex chemistry of alcohol, explaining the fermentation process and debunking common misconceptions about its presence in natural substances. Through a comprehensive survey of philosophical and scientific perspectives, the book unpacks the ethical dimensions of temperance, emphasizing the inherent contradiction between moderation and the pursuit of virtue. The author argues that true temperance demands complete abstinence from alcohol, as its consumption inevitably leads to a weakening of the will and a descent into intemperance. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling case for the adoption of temperance as a moral imperative, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the nature of addiction and the importance of self-control in achieving a virtuous life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
