Practical Ethics (Classic Reprint): A Collection of Addresses and Essays: A Collection of Addresses and Essays (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
How far should faith shape our moral choices? This work argues that religion influences everyday ethics far more than strict doctrines suggest.
In these pages, the author examines how people stay connected to religious communities even when their personal beliefs drift. He surveys how affection, habit, and social bonds complicate the question of who truly “belongs,” and what that means for truthfulness and responsibility. The discussion moves from church membership to a broader claim: the moral role of religion in society, and how loyalties interact with veracity, promises, and the search for the common good. What you’ll encounter:
- Arguments for allowing a flexible view of religious conformity, without abandoning honesty.
- Thoughtful questions about how truth, faith, and social duties intersect in everyday life.
- Concrete examples that weigh when deception might be justified, and when it cannot.
- A utilitarian lens on moral obligations, including how virtue supports happiness in a community.

Excerpt from Practical Ethics: A Collection of Addresses and Essays
Along with these addresses I have included four papers, having, either in whole or in part, similarly practical aims. Two of these, on Public Morality and Clerical Veracity, and part of a third, on the Pursuit of Culture, are published here for the first time. I have placed each of the three either before or after the address that appeared most cognate in subject. The connection is closest in the case of the paper on Clerical Veracity; which is, in fact, a fuller exposition - called forth by contro versy - Of my views on a portion of the subject of the address that precedes it. The last paper in the volume - on Unreasonable Action - I have not included without some hesitation, as it was written primarily from a psychological rather than a practical point of view: but on the whole it appeared to me to have sufi'icient ethical interest to justify its inclusion.
