Description

Practical Ethics: A Collection of Addresses and Essays (1898) is a book written by Henry Sidgwick, a prominent British philosopher and ethicist of the late 19th century. The book is a compilation of Sidgwick's lectures and essays on various topics related to ethics and moral philosophy. The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with theoretical ethics, where Sidgwick discusses the fundamental principles of ethical theory, such as the distinction between the good and the right, the nature of moral obligation, and the relationship between morality and happiness. He also explores the different ethical systems, such as utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics.The second part of the book focuses on practical ethics, where Sidgwick applies his theoretical insights to real-life ethical issues. He discusses topics such as the ethics of politics, the morality of war, the treatment of animals, and the ethics of sexual relationships. Throughout the book, Sidgwick argues for a rational and impartial approach to ethics, emphasizing the importance of reason and evidence in ethical decision-making. He also advocates for a universal ethical code that applies to all individuals, regardless of their culture or background. Overall, Practical Ethics: A Collection of Addresses and Essays is a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of ethical theory and its practical applications.
