Sinossi
Excerpt from Attempts at Truth
What is right? And Why must I do what is right? - the question of the standard with that of the sanction of duty. But we need not authority to prove that in all action, whether called moral or otherwise, it is feeling that moves, while the function of reason is to direct motion. The inutility of mere intellect apart from moral force, the danger of strong emotion undirected by reason, are discernible everywhere in history and life.
We may notice in passing the different degrees of esteem in which the two factors of moral action have been held in ancient and modern times. The conception formed of the Deity is a good criterion of the views of an age with regard to the hierarchy of the human faculties. If there be any one point on which modern theologians are agreed, it is that the moral nature of man is what chiefly unites him to Deity. With Aristotle, however, it was voiic or intelligence only that formed the link between God and man. The moral virtues were unworthy to be ascribed to God. On the other hand, numberless passages might be picked out from modern writers in which the superiority of the moral over the intellectual part of man's nature is taken for granted.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book undertakes a fascinating investigation into the inherent duality of human nature and morality, categorized by the author as falling into two central schools of thought: Spiritualism and Materialism. The author shows how each perspective informs our understanding of the nature of right and wrong, from questions of free will and perception of external reality to morality, ethics, and the resulting impact on our individual and societal behavior. The book elucidates the interplay between our inner and outer perceptions, demonstrating that we are products of both our thoughts and the world around us. It delves into the reasoning and biases of each school of thought, revealing that the pursuit of truth often requires a reconciliation of seemingly opposing viewpoints. By delving into the often contradictory impulses within each of us, the author uncovers a possible harmony between seemingly polarized worldviews. This book offers a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of human nature, morality, and the delicate balance between subjective and objective reality.
