The Ethical Problem (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781417972241)

The Ethical Problem is a philosophical book written by Paul Carus, originally published in 1908. The book explores the fundamental question of ethics: what is the basis of morality? Carus argues that morality is not based on religious or metaphysical beliefs, but rather on reason and empirical evidence. He examines various ethical theories, including utilitarianism and Kantianism, and critiques them from a pragmatic perspective. Carus also discusses the role of emotions in ethical decision-making and the importance of social and cultural context in shaping moral values. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of ethics and remains relevant to contemporary discussions on morality and ethics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
