Systems of Ethics is a philosophical treatise written by Aaron Schuyler that explores different ethical systems and their respective theories. The book is divided into three main parts, each of which examines a particular ethical system in detail. The first part of the book focuses on consequentialism, which is the idea that the morality of an action is based on its consequences. Schuyler discusses different forms of consequentialism, including utilitarianism and egoism, and evaluates their strengths and weaknesses.The second part of the book explores deontological ethics, which is the idea that certain actions are inherently right or wrong regardless of their consequences. Schuyler discusses different forms of deontological ethics, including Kantianism and natural law theory, and evaluates their respective merits.The final part of the book examines virtue ethics, which is the idea that the morality of an action is based on the character of the person performing it. Schuyler discusses different forms of virtue ethics, including Aristotelianism and Confucianism, and evaluates their respective strengths and weaknesses.Throughout the book, Schuyler provides a comprehensive overview of each ethical system and engages with the arguments presented by proponents and critics of each system. He also offers his own insights and critiques, providing readers with a nuanced and thought-provoking analysis of each ethical theory. Overall, Systems of Ethics is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of ethics and moral philosophy.1902. In Three Parts: Theoretical Ethics; Practical Ethics; and History of Ethics. The first part gives a general outline of ethics, its sphere, and its relation to other sciences. It discusses the various systems of ethics-Theistic, Intuitional, Utilitarian, Evolutionary, and Eclectic. It investigates the nature of the good, the relation of law and duty, and the effect of moral evil. The second part treats of virtue, duty, reward, and penalty. And, the third part traces the history of ethics from Greek ethics, through Roman, Mediaeval, and Modern down to the present.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
