Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Rev. Edward Williams, D.D, Vol. 4 By moral science I mean, a certain, as opposed to conjectural, knowledge, arising from intuitive and demonstrative evidence of virtue and vice, in their nature, causes, and consequences. In other Words, moral science is a sure and exact knowledge of virtue and vice, as to what they are in themselves, from whence they spring, and to what they tend, respectively, as their ultimate results. It, therefore, brings us acquainted doctrinally with good and evil, God and ourselves, happiness and misery; not in the way of doubtful conjecture, but by the clear light of indubitable principles and infallible conclusions. Comparing the above definition with the existing systems of moral philosophy, we may easily perceive what little progress has been made in the science. Abstracted from the didactic parts of theology, how little is found in moral writers even respecting virtue, as to its nature, proper cause, and genuine consequences; and as to the same predicaments of vice much less appears to be known. And that this is the fact has often been acknowledged and lamented by eminent philosophers. But while many of them despair of success in some essential parts of the science, others have expressed themselves in a more encouraging strain.
