Ethics: Civil and Political is a book written by David Allyn Gorton and first published in 1902. The book is a comprehensive exploration of the ethical principles that underpin civil and political life, and seeks to provide a framework for understanding the moral obligations of citizens and governments in a democratic society. The book is divided into three main parts. The first part provides an introduction to the concept of ethics, and discusses the different ethical theories that have been developed throughout history. The second part focuses on civil ethics, examining the moral principles that govern the behavior of individuals in society, including issues such as justice, rights, and social responsibility. The third part explores political ethics, examining the moral principles that govern the behavior of governments and other political actors, including issues such as democracy, freedom, and the rule of law.Throughout the book, Gorton draws on a range of historical and contemporary examples to illustrate his arguments, and provides a detailed analysis of the ethical challenges facing modern society. He argues that a strong ethical framework is essential for the effective functioning of civil and political life, and that individuals and governments must work together to uphold the values of justice, freedom, and equality.Overall, Ethics: Civil and Political is a thought-provoking and insightful book that provides a valuable contribution to the field of ethics and political philosophy.
