Function, Feeling, And Conduct: An Attempt To Find A Natural Basis For Ethical Law (1910) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781436855303)

Function, Feeling, and Conduct: An Attempt to Find a Natural Basis for Ethical Law is a book written by Frederick Meakin in 1910. The book explores the concept of ethics and morality, and attempts to find a natural basis for ethical law. Meakin argues that ethics is not just a matter of personal preference or cultural norms, but is rooted in human nature and the way we interact with the world around us. He suggests that there are three key elements that form the basis of ethical behavior: function, feeling, and conduct. Function refers to the natural purpose or role of a particular thing or activity, feeling refers to the emotional response that we have to certain situations, and conduct refers to the actions that we take in response to these feelings. Meakin believes that by understanding these three elements, we can develop a more objective and universal understanding of ethics, and create a set of ethical laws that are grounded in nature rather than arbitrary cultural or religious beliefs. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of ethics and morality, and is still relevant today for anyone interested in understanding the foundations of ethical behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
