Description

The Science of Moral Philosophy is a book written by Asa Mahan in 1848. The book delves into the study of morality and ethics, exploring the nature of moral principles and their application in human behavior. Mahan argues that morality is not simply a matter of personal opinion or cultural norms, but rather a universal and objective standard that can be understood through reason and observation.The book is divided into three parts. The first part lays out the philosophical foundations of morality, discussing the nature of moral principles and the role of reason in moral decision-making. The second part examines the practical application of these principles in various areas of life, including personal conduct, social relations, and political institutions. The final part explores the relationship between morality and religion, arguing that a proper understanding of morality requires a recognition of the divine source of moral principles.Throughout the book, Mahan draws on a range of philosophical and religious traditions, including ancient Greek philosophy, Christian theology, and Enlightenment thought. He also engages with contemporary debates in moral philosophy, critiquing the utilitarianism and relativism of his day.Overall, The Science of Moral Philosophy is a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of the nature of morality and its significance for human life. It remains a significant work in the history of moral philosophy and continues to be studied and debated by scholars and students today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
