"Moral Philosophy" by Charles Coppens is a comprehensive exploration of the fundamental principles governing human conduct and the science of ethics. Rooted in the Scholastic tradition, this work systematically examines the nature of human acts, the foundations of morality, and the concept of natural law. Coppens provides a clear and structured analysis of the rights and duties that pertain to individuals, both in their private lives and as members of society.
The text delves into essential topics such as the distinction between good and evil, the role of conscience, and the ultimate end of human existence. It addresses the moral implications of property, authority, and social obligations, offering a robust defense of traditional ethical frameworks. Written with the precision of a seasoned educator, "Moral Philosophy" serves as an enduring guide to the logical application of moral principles. This work remains a significant resource for students of philosophy, theology, and anyone seeking a reasoned understanding of the objective basis for moral judgment. Its clarity and depth reflect the intellectual rigor of early 20th-century philosophical discourse.
