Excerpt from Kantian Ethics and the Ethics of Evolution: A Critical Study
The following Essay, which is now published by the Hibbert Trustees, was written in Germany about a year ago, during the author's tenure of a Hibbert Travelling Scholarship.
The Essay is a critical study of the two representative systems of Ethics, with one or other of which the names of most thinkers in England and America are at present associated. Mill and Hamilton, the philosophical leaders of the last generation, have chiefly a historical interest for ours; and the undying dualism of metaphysical thought is propagated in Critical Idealism and Evolutionistic Realism. Kant laid the foundations of the one, just a hundred years ago; Mr. Herbert Spencer, in our own day, has laid the foundations of the other. The present Essay attempts an estimate of the ethical philosophy of each of these teachers.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the clash between two dominant ethical systems: Kantian ethics, rooted in reason and the autonomy of the will, and the ethics of evolution, emphasizing the inherent determinism of nature. The author examines how these philosophies grapple with the fundamental question of human freedom ââ â can our choices truly be free in a universe governed by natural laws? The author traces the historical development of Kantian thought, demonstrating how later philosophers like Schelling and Schopenhauer built upon, and ultimately diverged from, Kant's core ideas. This fascinating exploration delves into the intricate relationship between the "intelligible character," representing our free will, and the "empirical character," reflecting our actions within the constraints of the world. Ultimately, the book argues that Kant's system struggles to reconcile these two seemingly incompatible aspects of human nature. The book offers a thought-provoking analysis of the enduring debate over free will and determinism, providing valuable insights into the philosophical foundations of ethics and our understanding of human agency.
