The Scientific Basis Of Morals And Other Essays (1884)

""The Scientific Basis of Morals and Other Essays"" is a collection of essays written by William Kingdon Clifford and published in 1884. The book explores the scientific basis of morality, arguing that morality is not a matter of subjective opinion, but rather can be explained through objective scientific inquiry. Clifford asserts that morality is grounded in the laws of nature, and that ethical principles can be derived from a careful study of the natural world. The book also includes essays on topics such as the philosophy of science, the nature of knowledge, and the relationship between religion and science. With its emphasis on the importance of scientific inquiry in understanding the world and our place in it, ""The Scientific Basis of Morals and Other Essays"" remains a thought-provoking and influential work in the field of philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
