An Inquiry Into The Influence Of Physical Causes Upon The Moral Faculty (1839)

An Inquiry Into The Influence Of Physical Causes Upon The Moral Faculty is a book written by Benjamin Rush in 1839. The book explores the relationship between physical causes and the moral faculty, examining how physical factors such as disease, injury, and environmental conditions can affect an individual's moral behavior. Rush was a prominent physician and signer of the Declaration of Independence, and his book reflects his interest in the intersection of medicine and ethics. Through a series of essays, Rush argues that physical causes can have a profound impact on moral behavior, and that understanding this relationship is essential to promoting a healthy and virtuous society. The book is a fascinating exploration of the complex interplay between the mind and body, and remains a significant work in the history of medical ethics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
