The New Ethics (1907)

By J. Howard Moore

Book Overview

The New Ethics is a philosophical work written by John Howard Moore and published in 1907. In this book, Moore explores the concept of ethics and argues for a new approach to moral philosophy. He critiques traditional ethical systems, such as utilitarianism and Kantianism, and proposes a new ethical theory based on the principles of evolution and natural selection.Moore argues that ethics must be grounded in the natural world and that moral values are not absolute but are relative to the individual and their environment. He also discusses the role of emotions in ethical decision-making and emphasizes the importance of empathy and compassion in ethical behavior.Throughout the book, Moore draws on examples from literature, history, and science to illustrate his arguments. He also engages with contemporary ethical debates, such as the morality of war and the treatment of animals.Overall, The New Ethics is a thought-provoking work that challenges traditional ethical thinking and proposes a new approach to moral philosophy based on scientific principles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
