What if duty and self-interest could truly be reconciled? In this landmark moral philosophy book, John Bowring draws from the manuscripts of Jeremy Bentham to illuminate the profound harmony between virtue and felicity, prudence and benevolence. Volume II of Deontology; Or, The Science of Morality stands as a cornerstone of 19th-century philosophy, inviting readers into a rigorous ethical theory exploration that shaped Victorian era morality and the evolution of utilitarianism principles. Bowring's lucid arrangement of Bentham's early 1800s ethics offers both timeless wisdom and practical guidance for the business of life. Here, abstract principles are brought to life with clarity, making this work a vital philosophy students resource and a touchstone for academic research material. The text's historical significance is unmistakable: it bridges the gap between philosophical abstraction and everyday conduct, appealing to both the curious reader and the seasoned collector of classic literature. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For those seeking insight into the roots of ethical thought or wishing to deepen their understanding of duty and self-interest, this is more than a book; it is a cultural legacy.
