Synopsis

""An Introduction to the Science of Ethics"" is a book written by Theodore De Laguna that provides an overview of the field of ethics. The book discusses the nature of ethics and morality, exploring questions such as ""What is right?"" and ""What is good?"" It also delves into the history of ethics, examining the ideas of philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, and Kant. Additionally, the book covers contemporary ethical issues, including the ethics of war, the ethics of technology, and the ethics of the environment. Through its exploration of these topics, ""An Introduction to the Science of Ethics"" aims to provide readers with a deeper understanding of the principles and theories that underlie ethical decision-making.1914. From the Preface: The title of this book is intended to be fairly descriptive of it. It treats ethics as a science, which if not wholly independent of metaphysical considerations-and of not science can that be said-is sufficiently independent to permit of separate positive treatment. And under the broad license of an introduction it presents not only an outline of the science as we find it today, but some account of the past which has made it what it is. Part I contains brief chapters upon the scope and methods of the science and upon one metaphysical topic (the freedom of the will) which cannot well be passed over in silence. Part II is a review of the principal Greek and English ethical theories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
