Philosophy Of Conduct
A Treatise Of The Facts, Principles And Ideals Of Ethics (1902)
Description:... ""Philosophy of Conduct: A Treatise of the Facts, Principles and Ideals of Ethics"" is a book written by George Trumbull Ladd and first published in 1902. The book is a comprehensive exploration of ethics, examining the nature of moral conduct, the principles that guide ethical behavior, and the ideals that underlie ethical systems. Ladd draws on a range of philosophical and religious traditions to develop his arguments, exploring the ideas of thinkers such as Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill, as well as the teachings of Christianity and other faiths. The book is divided into three main sections: the facts of ethics, the principles of ethics, and the ideals of ethics. In the first section, Ladd examines the nature of moral conduct and the ways in which ethical behavior is influenced by social and cultural factors. In the second section, he explores the principles that guide ethical decision-making, including the concepts of duty, rights, and consequences. Finally, in the third section, Ladd discusses the ideals that underlie ethical systems, such as the pursuit of happiness, the cultivation of virtue, and the attainment of spiritual enlightenment. Throughout the book, Ladd emphasizes the importance of ethical behavior in promoting human flourishing and the well-being of society as a whole. ""Philosophy of Conduct"" remains a classic work in the field of ethics and is still widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
