Product Description
""Moral Order and Progress: An Analysis of Ethical Conceptions"" is a book written by S. Alexander that explores the different ethical conceptions that have emerged throughout history. The book is divided into four parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of ethical thought. The first part examines the origins of ethical thinking and the role of religion in shaping ethical beliefs. The second part looks at the development of secular ethical theories, such as utilitarianism and deontology. The third part explores the relationship between ethics and politics, including the role of the state in promoting moral values. Finally, the fourth part considers the challenges facing ethical thinking in the modern world, including the rise of relativism and the impact of scientific discoveries on ethical beliefs. Throughout the book, Alexander argues that ethical thinking is essential for human progress and that a moral order is necessary for a just and prosperous society. The book is aimed at scholars and students of philosophy, ethics, and political theory, as well as anyone interested in the history and development of ethical thought.1889.
