An Enquiry Into An Origin Of Honour And The Usefulness Of Christianity In War

by Bernard Mandeville

~~0,95€~~ 0,76€ 20% OFF

 An enquiry into the origin of honour and the usefulness of Christianity in war examines the foundations of moral behavior by questioning how honour is formed and how it functions within society and conflict. The work approaches honour not as innate virtue but as a socially cultivated impulse shaped by pride, recognition, and collective approval. Through philosophical discussion, the text distinguishes moral integrity from reputation driven conduct, suggesting that honour often motivates action through self regard rather than ethical conviction. The argument explores how institutions shape and redirect honour to preserve order, loyalty, and obedience, especially in times of warfare. Religious morality is examined alongside these impulses, raising questions about the compatibility of Christian values with organized violence. The discussion highlights how concepts such as sacrifice, courage, and discipline can be framed to justify aggression while still appearing morally grounded. By analyzing honour as a tool of governance and persuasion, the work challenges readers to reconsider accepted moral frameworks. Overall, it presents a critical reflection on how ethics, belief, and power interact to influence human conduct in both personal and collective life.

Moral Philosophy: Ethics, Deontology And Natural Law

by Joseph Rickaby

~~0,95€~~ 0,76€ 20% OFF

 Moral philosophy: Ethics, deontology and natural law examines moral reasoning as a structured inquiry into human action, obligation, and the pursuit of happiness. The work presents moral philosophy as a unified discipline divided into three interconnected areas that explain why actions are chosen, how duties arise, and how moral law is grounded in human nature. Human acts are described as purposeful efforts directed toward perceived good, with happiness understood not as pleasure alone but as fulfillment aligned with reason. Ethical reflection is positioned as the study of human flourishing, while deontology clarifies the binding force of duty and obligation that governs conduct regardless of inclination. Natural law is introduced as the rational foundation that connects moral rules to the inherent order of human nature and social life. The discussion emphasizes that moral obligation cannot be reduced to custom, emotion, or consequence alone, but must be understood through rational principles that guide choice and responsibility. This approach provides a systematic foundation for later analysis of moral law, responsibility, and ethical judgment.

by George Stuart Fullerton

~~0,95€~~ 0,76€ 20% OFF

Various approaches to ethics are outlined to show how thinkers have attempted to explain obligation, value, and responsibility.

By examining differences in moral judgment and method, it promotes analytical engagement with ethical problems. The overall approach frames ethics as a disciplined inquiry aimed at understanding human conduct, moral disagreement, and the foundations of moral reasoning.

The Misuse Of Mind: A Study Of Bergson'S Attack On Intellectualism

by Karin Stephen

~~0,95€~~ 0,76€ 20% OFF

 The misuse of mind: A study of Bergson's attack on intellectualism examines how fixed patterns of reasoning can limit the ability to grasp reality as it is directly experienced. The work introduces a critique of rigid analytical methods, suggesting that excessive reliance on classification and abstraction distances thought from the fluid nature of lived experience. It highlights how established habits of reasoning encourage certainty but can also prevent deeper insight, since they prioritize neatly defined concepts over the shifting qualities of immediate perception. The text reflects on how intellectual traditions shape expectations, showing that understanding often becomes constrained by familiar terminology rather than guided by what events and sensations reveal in the moment. It proposes that meaningful comprehension requires a willingness to adjust mental habits, embrace intuitive awareness, and acknowledge that thought must sometimes follow the movement of experience rather than confine it. Through its analysis, the book points toward a more flexible approach to inquiry, where attention to continuity, duration, and change allows perception to illuminate what strict logic may overlook.

The Metaphysical Elements Of Ethics

by Immanuel Kant

~~0,95€~~ 0,76€ 20% OFF

 The metaphysical elements of ethics presents a systematic exploration of moral philosophy, examining how reason shapes human duty and the principles that guide ethical action. The work emphasizes that genuine morality arises not from emotion or external pressures but from the rational recognition of obligation and the commitment to act in accordance with universal principles. Central to the text is the concept of the categorical imperative, which asserts that actions must be guided by maxims that can consistently apply to all rational beings. The book distinguishes between duties of virtue, which include self-improvement and concern for the welfare of others, and legal or societal duties, framing morality as a practice of disciplined reasoning and self-restraint. Through this lens, ethical behavior is portrayed as an expression of autonomy, where freedom is realized by acting in alignment with duty rather than inclination. The work encourages reflection on how rational deliberation can cultivate moral capacities, elevate ethical considerations above personal gain, and foster a principled approach to human interaction and social responsibility.

Ultimately, the work explores the cost of intellectual freedom and the enduring strength of ethical clarity.

The Ethics: (Ethica Ordine Geometrico Demonstrata)

by Benedict De Spinoza

~~0,95€~~ 0,76€ 20% OFF

 The ethics (Ethica ordine geometrico demonstrate) is a philosophical treatise that presents a carefully ordered investigation into reality, knowledge, and moral understanding through strict logical structure. Developed by Benedictus de Spinoza, the work proposes that all existence unfolds from a single, infinite substance, dissolving divisions between God, nature, and human life. Core concepts such as substance, attributes, and modes are used to explain how everything follows necessary laws rather than chance. Human thought and emotion are examined as natural expressions of this unified order, reshaping ideas of freedom, responsibility, and ethical living. Freedom is redefined as understanding the causes behind desires and actions, allowing reason to guide emotional life. Ethical insight arises from knowledge that transforms confusion into clarity and dependence into self-mastery. By linking metaphysical structure with inner experience, the book presents ethics as a process of intellectual growth, emotional balance, and alignment with the rational order of existence, offering a vision of well-being rooted in understanding rather than moral rules.

Problems Of Conduct: An Introductory Survey Of Ethics

by Durant Drake

Everyday Ethics - A Layman'S Guide To Morality.

by Raymond Kiely

~~5,30€~~ 4,24€ 20% OFF

 EVERYDAY ETHICS - A LAYMAN'S GUIDE TO MORALITY In a world where morality is often tied to dogma, Everyday Ethics challenges us to critically examine the foundations of our individual moral beliefs. Our moral compass is frequently based on perspectives and information that we have simply absorbed from the commonly held views of those around us, with little real research, or consideration or even questioning being given to the correctness of those views. Many times, these morals are based on religious doctrine, which over the centuries, and often still today, has had detrimental impacts on many, and sometimes even our own lives. What if our values were not rooted in divine command, but only in human compassion, reason and empathy? Can we build a more equitable and compassionate society without relying on religious orthodoxy? What would society look like if we based our moral principles on humanism rather than religious authority? This thought-provoking exploration of secular ethics invites you to consider a moral framework that prioritizes human well-being, dignity and flourishing. Everyday Ethics examines a number of moral issues relevant to our lives today, with the secular arguments for and against each topic presented in a concise and easy to access manner (with a little humour), with information, facts and perspectives for and against that encourage you to examine the validity of your own beliefs. We all seek to lead good lives. Everyday Ethics will help to ensure that your beliefs and subsequent actions will contribute positively to the world we live in and to those around us.
