Sinopsis

How do we judge right and wrong, and what guides our moral sense as we grow? This book explains how our standard for moral judgment develops—from private opinion to family belief, and then to broader social conventions—and how feelings influence our sense of ethics. It shows how teachers and students navigate ideals, duties, and the challenges of moral growth.

The text traces the origins of moral judgment in children, including imitation, the authority of parents, and the gradual emergence of independent judgments. It then explains how private opinions can become public standards through family life, social groups, and eventually social conventions. It also discusses the limits of convention and the role of felt conviction in ethical decision making. Throughout, the work connects moral judgment to education, responsibility, and the formation of character.


  • How moral standards form, from imitation to private judgment to social convention

  • How feelings and conscience interact with reason in moral choice

  • The role of education, environment, and vocation in developing character

  • Practical insights for teachers on guiding ethical judgment and behavior



Ideal for readers of ethics, moral education, and philosophy of education, this edition offers a clear framework for understanding why we judge as we do and how to foster thoughtful, responsible judgment in others.

Reseña del editor

Introduction toE thics ;but as the term I ntroduc tion has, in this connection, received an ambiguous meaning, a word of explanation may not be out of place. This term is sometimes employed to denote a philosophical discussion of the ultimate concepts which lie at the foundation of a science; in which case, a preliminary study of the science is indispensable as a preparation for an intelligent perusal of the I ntroduction. This is not the sense in which the present work is meant to be an Introduction toE thics. It is intended to introduce to the science those who are as yet unfamiliar with its fundamental concepts, except in so far as these are implied in all our ordinary thoughts about human life. With this object in view I have not confined my self to the exposition of moral concepts in their abstract universality.
