Publisher's Synopsis
The Ethics of Positivism: A Critical Study is a book written by Giacomo Barzellotti in 1878. In this book, Barzellotti examines the philosophical school of positivism and its ethical implications. Positivism is a philosophical system that emphasizes the use of scientific methods to understand the world and rejects metaphysical or religious explanations. Barzellotti critiques positivism, arguing that it is insufficiently grounded in moral values and that it fails to provide a satisfactory ethical framework for society. He argues that positivists must take a more holistic approach to ethics, considering both the individual and the collective good. The book is an important contribution to the debate on the role of science in society and the relationship between science and ethics. It remains relevant today for those interested in the intersection of philosophy, science, and ethics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
