Synopsis

A practical guide to the core questions of ethics, focused on how we should live and judge conduct. This book aims to separate morality from other ways people justify behavior and to show how a practical moral sense can guide everyday choices. It emphasizes a clear, usable approach to ethics rather than abstract puzzles.

In this edition, the author explains the aims of the work, its relation to religion, and how morality can be studied as an independent subject. The emphasis is on applying moral ideas to real life, with chapters that explore the sources of our moral judgments, how they are formed, and how they can be improved. The result is a work that connects theory with practice, and that invites readers to examine their own beliefs in light of practical consequences.

• How morality differs from other calls to action and why that matters in daily life.


• What the moral sentiment is, and how its claims to authority can be justified.


• How our sense of right and wrong develops, and how to educate it for better judgment.


• A practical test for evaluating conduct and applying moral ideas to real situations.

Ideal for readers of philosophy, ethics, and anyone seeking a clearer, more usable approach to moral questions in everyday life.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This philosophy text represent an attempt to exhibit a scientific conception of morality in a popular form, and with a view to practical applications rather than the discussion of theoretical difficulties. For this purpose it has been necessary to study brevity and avoid controversy. Hence, I have made few references to other authors, and I have almost altogether dispensed with foot-notes.
