How far should faith shape our moral choices? This work argues that religion influences everyday ethics far more than strict doctrines suggest.

In these pages, the author examines how people stay connected to religious communities even when their personal beliefs drift. He surveys how affection, habit, and social bonds complicate the question of who truly “belongs,” and what that means for truthfulness and responsibility. The discussion moves from church membership to a broader claim: the moral role of religion in society, and how loyalties interact with veracity, promises, and the search for the common good. What you’ll encounter:

Arguments for allowing a flexible view of religious conformity, without abandoning honesty.
Thoughtful questions about how truth, faith, and social duties intersect in everyday life.
Concrete examples that weigh when deception might be justified, and when it cannot.
A utilitarian lens on moral obligations, including how virtue supports happiness in a community.

Ideal for readers who want a clear, practical exploration of ethics in religion, society, and personal decision making.

Revue de presse

Sidgwick's Practical Ethics is a remarkable collection of engaging essays by a philosopher-economist who was deeply humane as well as fiercely rational. His ideas and critical scrutinies remain as relevant and useful today as they were when this book was first published a hundred years ago. An illuminating introduction by Sissela Bok--herself a leading contributor to practical ethics--adds to the attractions of this wonderful book. (Amartya Sen, Professor of Economics and Philosophy, Harvard University)

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the challenges of building a system of ethics for individuals and society as a whole. The author reflects on the history of ethical thought, from the ancient Greeks to the present day, recognizing the fundamental disagreements that have persisted among philosophers and moralists. The author argues for a middle ground approach, focusing on practical ethics and the need to reconcile the seemingly divergent moral codes of different professions and social groups with a broader conception of right and wrong. He explores the role of common sense and practical experience in shaping a moral system, emphasizing the need to consider the viewpoints of ordinary individuals, not just those with advanced philosophical training. The book delves into the complex relationship between morality and happiness, and the difficulties of navigating the tensions between personal desires and societal needs. The author challenges readers to move beyond mere platitudes and delve into a deeper understanding of ethical dilemmas, recognizing the need for nuanced thinking and respectful discussion. Ultimately, this book offers a valuable framework for navigating the intricate terrain of ethics, urging readers to engage with moral questions in a thoughtful and informed manner.
