Principles Of Ethics Parts V And VI, V2

""Principles of Ethics Parts V and VI, V2: Negative and Positive Beneficence"" by Herbert Spencer is a philosophical treatise that explores the principles of ethics with a focus on the concept of beneficence. The book is divided into two parts, with Part V examining negative beneficence, which involves refraining from causing harm to others, and Part VI exploring positive beneficence, which involves actively promoting the well-being of others.Spencer argues that the principle of beneficence is essential to ethical behavior, and that it is rooted in the natural desire to promote one's own well-being. He also emphasizes the importance of individual freedom and autonomy, and argues that ethical behavior should be guided by a respect for these values.Throughout the book, Spencer draws on examples from history, literature, and contemporary society to illustrate his arguments. He also engages with other philosophers and ethical theories, including utilitarianism and Kantian ethics.Overall, ""Principles of Ethics Parts V and VI, V2: Negative and Positive Beneficence"" offers a comprehensive exploration of the concept of beneficence and its role in ethical behavior, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars of philosophy 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.
