Public and Private Morality is a thought-provoking book written by R. B. Mowat that explores the complex relationship between public and private morality. The author argues that while individuals have a right to their own private moral beliefs and values, these beliefs should not necessarily be imposed on others in the public sphere. Mowat delves into various ethical theories and examines how they apply to public policy and decision-making.The book also explores the role of religion in shaping public morality and the potential conflicts that can arise between religious beliefs and secular values. Mowat argues that while religion can be a valuable source of moral guidance for individuals, it should not be used to justify discriminatory or oppressive policies in the public sphere.Throughout the book, Mowat provides numerous examples of how public and private morality intersect, from debates over abortion and same-sex marriage to discussions about climate change and economic inequality. He encourages readers to think critically about their own moral beliefs and how they impact their views on public policy.Overall, Public and Private Morality is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to consider the complex relationship between personal ethics and public policy. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of morality, politics, and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
