On The Foundations Of Morals, Four Sermons

On The Foundations Of Morals, Four Sermons: With Additional Discourses And Essays (1839) is a collection of essays and sermons by William Whewell, a prominent 19th-century philosopher and theologian. The book explores the foundations of morality and ethics, examining the role of reason, conscience, and religion in shaping our moral beliefs and actions. The four sermons included in the book focus on topics such as the nature of sin, the importance of self-examination, and the need for repentance and forgiveness. The additional discourses and essays cover a range of related topics, including the relationship between morality and law, the concept of moral obligation, and the role of moral principles in social and political life. Throughout the book, Whewell argues that morality is not simply a matter of personal preference or cultural tradition, but is rooted in objective principles that can be discovered through reason and reflection. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of moral philosophy and the development of ethical thought in the modern era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
