Systems Of Moral Philosophy

Systems of Moral Philosophy is a book written by Adam Smith, a Scottish philosopher and economist, which explores various moral systems and their implications for society. In this book, Smith examines different ethical theories, including utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics, and evaluates their strengths and weaknesses. He also discusses the role of reason and sentiment in moral decision-making and how these factors can be used to create a just and equitable society. The book is divided into four parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of moral philosophy. Part one provides an overview of the major ethical systems, while part two delves into the role of sympathy and impartiality in moral reasoning. Part three discusses the relationship between morality and self-interest, and part four explores the concept of justice and its application in society. Overall, Systems of Moral Philosophy is a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the foundations of moral philosophy and their impact on human behavior and society.THIS 98 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Essays Philosophical and Literary, by Adam Smith.
