Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Argument Addressed to the Yeomanry of Ireland: Demonstrating the Right, the Propriety, the Utility, and the Obligation of Declaring Their Sentiments on Political Subjects, in Their Public Distinctive Character of Yeomen The right of self-preservation is inherent in man, independent of positive institutions, and inalienable. This right comprehends not only the right of preserving life, but also of preserving every thing, which reason prescribes as necessary to the true enjoyment of life. In other words, the right of self-preservation, when applied to a moral agent, is a right to the free exercise of every power natural and moral essential to the happiness of such a being. Civil society is a voluntary union of men formed for the sole purpose of securing more effectually the enjoyment of this right, an association, to which they are led by sympathy and by reason, as the best means of accomplishing a lawful end. Every abstract right involves the right of practical attainment. That is, if any end is lawful, every means of attaining the end, which does not interfere with a, more general end, is also lawful. The general end of the actions of every creature is the happiness suitable to its nature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
