Discover the foundations of right and wrong and how they shape daily choices. This practical guide surveys why we think, feel, and act the way we do, and how those forces link to virtue, duty, and the rules that govern society.
Framed as a clear, structured introduction, the book moves from the nature of the will and freedom to the basis of ethics, then into duties to self and to others. It blends discussion of internal motives with concrete questions about life, liberty, property, and justice, offering accessible explanations and everyday applications.
Ideal for readers of introductory ethics, philosophy, and personal development who want a grounded, readable overview.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental principles that underpin our moral compass. It explores the nature of freedom, asking whether human actions are truly free or determined by external forces. It examines the basis of ethics, arguing that the ethical idea is derived from the intuitive recognition of right versus wrong rather than from the pursuit of happiness or obedience to authority. The book then delves into the various springs of action, including appetites, desires, affections, self-love, and conscience. It discusses how these impulses drive human behavior and how they can be balanced to promote moral conduct. Whether you're a student, teacher, or anyone curious about the nature of morality, this book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the subject.
