An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169247253)

""An Enquiry Concerning The Principles Of Morals"" is a philosophical treatise written by the Scottish philosopher David Hume. The book explores the nature of morality and ethical behavior, attempting to uncover the fundamental principles that underlie our moral judgments. Hume argues that morality is based on sentiment, rather than reason, and that our moral judgments are ultimately subjective and based on personal feelings and emotions. He also examines the concept of virtue and the role that it plays in our moral lives, as well as the relationship between morality and religion. Throughout the book, Hume uses a combination of logical argument and empirical observation to support his claims, and his writing is characterized by clarity, wit, and a deep understanding of human nature. ""An Enquiry Concerning The Principles Of Morals"" is widely regarded as one of the most important works of moral philosophy ever written, and it continues to be studied and debated by scholars and philosophers today.AS the mutual shocks, in SOCIETY, and the oppositions of interest and self-love have constrained mankind to establish the laws of JUSTICE, in order to preserve the advantages of mutual assistance and protection: in like manner, the eternal contrarieties, in COMPANY, of men's pride and self-conceit, have introduced the rules of Good Manners or Politeness, in order to facilitate the intercourse of minds, and an undisturbed commerce and conversation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
