First Principles of Moral Science: A Course of Lectures Delivered in the University of Cambridge (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Excerpt from First Principles of Moral Science: A Course of Lectures Delivered in the University of Cambridge
The present work treats of three topics, all preliminary to the direct exposition of the first of these three main subjects, Moral Philosophy. These are the Certainty and Dignity of Moral Science, its Spiritual Geography, or relation to other main subjects of human thought, and its Formative Principles, or some elementary truths on which its whole development must depend. In the coming year I propose to myself to enter on the second subject, or Controversial Ethics; by a review, first, of Modern Utilitarianism, as expounded by Paley and Bentham, and recast by Mr Mill into a different form; and next, of mo dem Cambridge Ethics, represented by the Discourse of Professor Sedgwick, and the writings of my three eminent predecessors. In Mr Mill's review of Professor Sedgwick these two schools came fimt into direct collision, almost forty years ago; and now in the present year, within a few months, these distinguished writers have both passed away. The harsher sounds of controversy should be stilled, and only its grave and gentle utterances be heard, over the recent graves of the dead.
