The Concept of Morals (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A practical guide to happiness and moral value that challenges simple utilitarian answers.

This nonfiction work argues that not all satisfactions are equal in guiding a good life. It shows how happiness depends on a balance between mind and body and why some pleasures, especially those of the mind, can be more valuable than sheer intensity. The author challenges utilitarian ideas by insisting there are higher and lower kinds of satisfaction, and that a complete theory of morality must account for this.

- Learn how the quantity of pleasure alone cannot determine the moral worth of actions.
- See why intellectual, artistic, and spiritual satisfactions are often regarded as higher.
- Discover a framework that links personal happiness with ethical reasoning grounded in human experience.
- Explore how philosophy can illuminate the intuitive sense that some desires are better aligned with a good life than others.

Ideal for readers of moral philosophy, ethics, and anyone curious about how happiness relates to right action.
