Sinopsis

What makes courage a true virtue—and how temperance supports it In this examination of moral life, Mezes traces courage beyond bold actions to the inner light that guides them. The book distinguishes between physical bravery and moral courage, arguing that genuine virtue depends on acting from a right, beneficent motive even when it is hard.

Two short paragraphs framing the scope and value:
Drawing on centuries of ethical thought, this work shows how courage fits with other virtues and with social welfare. It explores how conscience, will, and sense of responsibility interact to produce actions that truly serve the common good, while recognizing limits and risks in overconfident or impulsive bravery. A rigorous, patient analysis helps readers understand why courage can be admirable yet not automatically virtuous.

What you will experience


  • Clear definitions of courage as a virtue and how it relates to duty, benevolence, and social welfare.

  • distinctions between amazing deeds and morally sound actions, including the role of inner motivation.

  • Insights into how temperance and self-control enable reliable moral action, not just restraint of appetite.

  • Thoughtful discussion of moral courage in everyday life and its place in a thoughtful ethical system.



Ideal for readers of ethics, philosophy, and civic life who want a careful, text-based look at courage, temperance, and character.

Excerpt from Ethics, Descriptive and Explanatory

The purpose of the present book is to give as adequate, critical, and methodical an account as possible of what morality and immorality are. Its assumption is, that the best way of discovering what morality and immorality are is to examine the examples of these phenomena that are open to observation. And, of course, as in the case of other phenomena with a history, the evolution of morality will be studied, not only because it is interesting in itself, but because it throws light on the nature of morality, just as knowledge of the evolution of man has thrown much light on the nature of man.

This does not mean that moral and immoral conduct will be examined as physical phenomena. A theory of Ethics founded on the observation of conduct as a body of merely external or physical facts is bound to be inadequate and fallacious. Nowhere in the physical aspect of conduct is the "ought" to be found, and the moralists who limit their examination to that aspect pass fallaciously at some point from the "is" to the "ought to be."

But, on the other hand, a theory of Ethics founded on introspection alone is sure to be inadequate and unscientific. Inadequate, because there are many more moral phenomena besides those that appear in the consciousness of the writer. Unscientific, because, however moral the writer and however true his ethical views, these views, just as his personal opinions, are unproven.

Of course there are no moralists who limit themselves strictly either to introspection or to the physical point of view.
