Publisher's Synopsis
""A Handbook of Ethical Theory"" by George Stuart Fullerton is a comprehensive guide to ethical theories and their applications in modern society. The book covers a range of topics, including the nature of ethics, the foundations of morality, and the role of reason in ethical decision-making. Fullerton explores various ethical theories, including deontological, consequentialist, and virtue ethics, and provides clear explanations of each. He also delves into contemporary ethical issues, such as abortion, euthanasia, and environmental ethics. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an ideal resource for students and professionals in philosophy, ethics, and related fields. Overall, ""A Handbook of Ethical Theory"" is a valuable tool for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of ethical principles and their practical applications in modern society.What constitutes the moral in human behavior, what marks out right or wrong conduct from conduct ethically indifferent, we have not yet considered. But no man is wholly without information in the field of morals, and we may here fall back upon such conceptions as men generally possess before they have evolved a science of morals. In the light of such conceptions a simple and comparatively undeveloped culture may compare very favorably with one much higher in the scale of civilization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
