Handbook Of Moral Philosophy Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Handbook of Moral Philosophy 1. Moral Philosophy is the rational explanation of our moral actions, moral nature, and moral relations. It is a science of the life subject to moral law, in so far as the study of its activities enables us to reach a science of conduct. It is, first, a system of truth scientifically discovered and arranged; then a science of the practice of morality, as this implies knowledge of moral distinctions and power of 'self-determination.' It is a theory of knowing and of being, but only of such knowing as is concerned with moral distinctions, and only of being possessing and applying such knowledge.
