By Frederick Meakin

Book Overview

Function, Feeling, And Conduct: An Attempt To Find A Natural Basis For Ethical Law is a book written by Frederick Meakin in 1910. The book explores the concept of ethics and attempts to find a natural basis for ethical law. Meakin argues that ethics can be understood in terms of three fundamental elements: function, feeling, and conduct. He believes that these three elements are interconnected and that a natural basis for ethical law can be found by understanding their relationship.Meakin begins by examining the concept of function and how it relates to ethics. He argues that all living organisms have a function and that this function is related to their survival. He then explores the concept of feeling and how it relates to ethics. Meakin believes that feelings are an important aspect of ethics because they help us to understand what is right and wrong. Finally, Meakin examines the concept of conduct and how it relates to ethics. He argues that ethical conduct is based on a combination of function and feeling.Throughout the book, Meakin draws on examples from nature to illustrate his points. He examines the behavior of animals and argues that their behavior can provide insights into ethical behavior. He also draws on the work of other philosophers, such as Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill, to support his arguments.Overall, Function, Feeling, And Conduct: An Attempt To Find A Natural Basis For Ethical Law is an important work in the field of ethics. Meakin's arguments are still relevant today and his exploration of the relationship between function, feeling, and conduct provides a valuable framework for understanding ethical behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
