Moral Philosophy is a comprehensive book written by Joseph Rickaby, which explores the fundamental principles and theories of moral philosophy. The book delves into various aspects of ethics, including the nature of morality, the sources of moral values, the different ethical theories, and the application of moral principles to real-life situations. The author presents a clear and concise overview of major ethical theories, including consequentialism, deontology, virtue ethics, and natural law theory. He also discusses the role of reason, emotion, and intuition in moral decision-making, and explores the concept of moral relativism and its implications. In addition, the book examines various contemporary ethical issues, such as abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment, and environmental ethics. The author provides a balanced and nuanced analysis of these issues, drawing on different ethical theories and perspectives to offer readers a comprehensive understanding of the debates surrounding them. Overall, Moral Philosophy is a valuable resource for students and scholars of philosophy, ethics, and related fields, as well as for anyone interested in exploring the complex and fascinating world of moral philosophy.An act is more or less voluntary, as it is done with more or less knowledge, and proceeds more or less fully and purely from the will properly so called. Whatever diminishes knowledge, or partially supplants the will, takes off from the voluntariness of the act. An act is rendered less voluntary by ignorance, by passionate desire, and by fear.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
