Practical Ethics (1892) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781164015864)

Practical Ethics is a book written by William DeWitt Hyde and first published in 1892. The book is a comprehensive exploration of ethical principles and their practical application in everyday life. Hyde begins by defining ethics and exploring the different approaches to ethical reasoning, including consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics. He then delves into specific ethical issues such as truthfulness, justice, and the treatment of animals.Throughout the book, Hyde emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility and the need to make ethical decisions based on reason and empathy. He also discusses the role of religion in ethical decision-making and argues that ethical principles can be derived from both religious and secular sources.Practical Ethics is a seminal work in the field of ethics and has been widely read and studied by philosophers, students, and general readers. It continues to be relevant today as a guide for ethical decision-making in a complex and rapidly changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
