An Introduction to the Science of Ethics is a book written by Theodore De Laguna that provides an overview of the field of ethics. The book discusses the nature of ethics and morality, exploring questions such as What is right? and What is good? It also delves into the history of ethics, examining the ideas of philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, and Kant. Additionally, the book covers contemporary ethical issues, including the ethics of war, the ethics of technology, and the ethics of the environment. Through its exploration of these topics, An Introduction to the Science of Ethics aims to provide readers with a deeper understanding of the principles and theories that underlie ethical decision-making.1914. From the Preface: The title of this book is intended to be fairly descriptive of it. It treats ethics as a science, which if not wholly independent of metaphysical considerations-and of not science can that be said-is sufficiently independent to permit of separate positive treatment. And under the broad license of an introduction it presents not only an outline of the science as we find it today, but some account of the past which has made it what it is. Part I contains brief chapters upon the scope and methods of the science and upon one metaphysical topic (the freedom of the will) which cannot well be passed over in silence. Part II is a review of the principal Greek and English ethical theories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
