A Syllabus of Ethics, written by William M. Bryant and first published in 1894, is a comprehensive guide to ethical theory and practice. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of morality, the sources of ethical principles, the relationship between ethics and religion, and the application of ethical principles to various areas of human life. Bryant's approach to ethics is grounded in a belief in the importance of reason and critical thinking. He argues that ethical principles must be based on a careful examination of the facts and a rigorous analysis of the arguments for and against different ethical positions. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of ethical theory and practice. The first section provides an overview of the history of ethics and introduces some of the key concepts and terms that are central to the field. The second section focuses on the nature of morality, exploring questions such as What is good? and What is right? Bryant argues that moral principles must be based on a careful consideration of the consequences of our actions and the impact they have on others. The third section examines the sources of ethical principles, including reason, intuition, and religious belief. Bryant argues that ethical principles must be grounded in reason and evidence, but that religious belief can also provide a valuable source of ethical guidance for those who find it meaningful. The fourth section explores the application of ethical principles to various areas of human life, including politics, economics, and social relations. Bryant argues that ethical principles must be applied consistently and impartially, and that they must take into account the needs and interests of all members of society. Overall, A Syllabus of Ethics is a comprehensive and thoughtful guide to ethical theory and practice. It provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the complex and challenging issues that arise in the field of ethics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
