Self-Justification, Self-Condemned: A Dialogue is a philosophical work written by David Irish in 1836. The book is written in the form of a dialogue between two characters, Philo and Sophos, who discuss the concept of self-justification and self-condemnation. Throughout the dialogue, Philo argues that individuals have a natural inclination to justify their actions, even when they are wrong or immoral. He suggests that this tendency towards self-justification is a result of our desire to protect our self-image and maintain our sense of identity. Sophos, on the other hand, argues that self-condemnation is a more rational and ethical approach to evaluating one's actions. He suggests that individuals should be willing to admit their mistakes and take responsibility for their actions, rather than constantly justifying themselves. The dialogue explores various philosophical concepts related to morality, ethics, and human psychology. It also delves into the nature of truth and the role of self-awareness in personal growth and development. Overall, Self-Justification, Self-Condemned: A Dialogue is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to examine their own tendencies towards self-justification and consider the ethical implications of their actions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
