Prolegomena To Ethics

Prolegomena to Ethics is a philosophical work written by Thomas Hill Green, a prominent British philosopher of the 19th century. The book is a collection of essays that explore the nature of ethics and morality, and the role that they play in human society. Green argues that ethics is not simply a matter of individual choice or preference, but is instead grounded in objective principles that are inherent in human nature. He suggests that these principles can be discovered through reason and reflection, and that they provide a basis for moral action and decision-making.Throughout the book, Green engages with a range of philosophical ideas and debates, including the relationship between morality and religion, the nature of human freedom and responsibility, and the role of the state in promoting ethical behavior. He also offers a critique of various ethical theories, including utilitarianism and Kantianism, and proposes his own alternative approach to moral philosophy.Overall, Prolegomena to Ethics is a complex and thought-provoking work that offers insights into the nature of ethics and morality, and the challenges involved in developing a coherent and compelling ethical theory. It remains an important text in the history of philosophy, and continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
