Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces the concept of distinguishing between moral good and evil through the lens of reason and nature rather than through custom, opinion, or divine law. The author argues that morality is not subjective, but rather an objective reality that can be understood through careful examination of human nature and the consequences of our actions. This examination delves into topics such as self-denial, public-spiritedness, pride, shame, and the nature of virtue and vice. The author contends that human nature, when properly understood, leads to the recognition of a universal moral law that is binding on all people, regardless of their culture or beliefs. This book offers a comprehensive examination of the foundations of morality, providing a valuable resource for anyone interested in philosophical inquiry and the nature of ethical behavior. Its insights on the relationship between reason and morality continue to be influential in contemporary discussions on ethics and human conduct.
