Synopsis

Morality As A Religion: An Exposition Of Some First Principles by W. R. Washington Sullivan is a philosophical work that explores the concept of morality as a religion. The book argues that morality can be viewed as a religion in its own right, with its own set of beliefs, values, and practices. The author delves into the nature of morality, examining its origins and purpose, and how it has evolved over time. He also discusses the relationship between morality and religion, and how they intersect and diverge. Sullivan provides a comprehensive analysis of the principles that underpin morality, including the concepts of good and evil, virtue and vice, and the role of reason and emotion in moral decision-making. He also explores the idea of moral progress and the challenges that arise when trying to achieve it. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in the philosophy of morality. It offers a thought-provoking and insightful perspective on the nature of morality and its place in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Morality as a Religion An Exposition of Some First Principles By W. R. Washington Sullivan New Edition BRAND NEW COPY Morality and religion is the relationship between religious views and morals. Many religions have value frameworks regarding personal behavior meant to guide adherents in determining between right and wrong. These include the Triple Jems of Jainism, Judaism's Halacha, Islam's Sharia, Catholicism's Canon Law, Buddhism's Eightfold Path, and Zoroastrianism's "good thoughts, good words, and good deeds" concept, among others. These frameworks are outlined and interpreted by various sources such as holy books, oral and written traditions, and religious leaders. Many of these share tenets with secular value frameworks such as consequentialism, freethought, and utilitarianism.
