Ethics of Theism: A Criticism and Its Vindication is a philosophical book written by Alexander Leitch in 1868. The book is an exploration of the ethical implications of theism, which is the belief in the existence of a God or gods. Leitch begins the book by criticizing the ethical arguments put forth by theists. He argues that theists often rely on circular reasoning and fail to provide a coherent ethical framework that is consistent with the existence of a benevolent God. Leitch also takes issue with the idea that morality is dependent on the existence of a divine being.In the second part of the book, Leitch presents his own ethical theory, which he calls ''the ethics of rationalism.'' This theory is based on the idea that morality is grounded in reason and that ethical principles can be derived through rational inquiry. Leitch argues that this approach is superior to theistic ethics because it is not dependent on the existence of a deity.The final part of the book is devoted to Leitch’s defense of his ethical theory. He responds to objections and criticisms of his arguments and provides further elaboration on his ideas. Overall, Ethics of Theism: A Criticism and Its Vindication is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between theism and ethics. It is an important work in the history of philosophy and continues to be relevant to contemporary debates about the nature of morality and the role of religion in ethical thinking.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
