The Concept of Ingratitude in Renaissance English Moral Philosophy by E. Catherine Dunn is a scholarly work that explores the concept of ingratitude in the moral philosophy of the Renaissance period in England. The book examines how the idea of ingratitude was understood and discussed by prominent moral philosophers of the time, including Francis Bacon, Thomas Hobbes, and John Milton.The author argues that the concept of ingratitude was a central concern for moral philosophers of the Renaissance period, as it was seen as a threat to social and political stability. The book explores how the idea of ingratitude was used to justify political and social hierarchies, and how it was linked to broader debates about the nature of obligation, loyalty, and gratitude.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the concept of ingratitude in Renaissance English moral philosophy, while the second part examines the works of individual philosophers in detail. The final part of the book explores the broader cultural and historical context in which the concept of ingratitude was discussed in Renaissance England.Overall, The Concept of Ingratitude in Renaissance English Moral Philosophy provides a detailed and nuanced analysis of an important concept in the history of moral philosophy. It will be of interest to scholars and students of Renaissance literature, history, and philosophy, as well as anyone interested in the history of ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
