Evolutionism and Idealism in Ethics is a philosophical book written by Frederick Cohn and originally published in 1909. The book explores the two major ethical theories of evolutionism and idealism and their implications for moral philosophy. Cohn begins by examining the evolutionist perspective, which posits that moral principles and values have evolved over time through natural selection. He discusses the various evolutionary theories of morality and evaluates their strengths and weaknesses. Cohn then turns to idealism, which argues that moral principles are inherent in the nature of reality and can be discovered through reason and intuition. Throughout the book, Cohn engages with the works of prominent philosophers such as Immanuel Kant and Herbert Spencer, and offers his own critiques and insights into their theories. He also explores the relationship between evolutionism and idealism, arguing that the two perspectives are not necessarily mutually exclusive and can be reconciled in a more comprehensive ethical theory. Overall, Evolutionism and Idealism in Ethics is a thought-provoking and comprehensive examination of two major ethical theories and their implications for moral philosophy. It remains a relevant and influential work in the field of ethics over a century after its initial publication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
