Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores morality's foundational principles, focusing on human nature and the pursuit of happiness. The author, writing within the context of 18th-century philosophical inquiry, argues that the intrinsic merit of virtue, rather than external motivations, is the ultimate guiding force for ethical behavior. By considering the nature and acquisition of virtue, the author unveils the importance of self-control, the dangers of self-interest, and the power of disinterested benevolence in achieving genuine happiness. The book's insights provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the human condition and offer practical guidance for ethical decision-making, revealing that true fulfillment lies not in solitary pleasure, but in the pursuit of the good for its own sake.
