excerpt: 1785FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF THE METAPHYSIC OF MORALSby Immanuel Kanttranslated by Thomas Kingsmill AbbottPREFACEAncient Greek philosophy was divided into three sciences: physics,ethics, and logic. This division is perfectly suitable to the natureof the thing; and the only improvement that can be made in it is toadd the principle on which it is based, so that we may both satisfyourselves of its completeness, and also be able to determine correctlythe necessary subdivisions.All rational knowledge is either material or formal: the formerconsiders some object, the latter is concerned only with the form ofthe understanding and of the reason itself, and with the universallaws of thought in general without distinction of its objects.Formal philosophy

excerpt: 1863UTILITARIANISMby John Stuart MillChapter 1General Remarks.THERE ARE few circumstances among those which make up the presentcondition of human knowledge, more unlike what might have beenexpected, or more significant of the backward state in whichspeculation on the most important subjects still lingers, than thelittle progress which has been made in the decision of the controversyrespecting the criterion of right and wrong. From the dawn ofphilosophy, the question concerning the summum bonum, or, what isthe same thing, concerning the foundation of morality, has beenaccounted the main problem in speculative thought, has occupied themost gifted intellects, and divided them into sects and schools,carrying on a vigorous warfare against one another

All duties are either duties of right, that is, juridicalduties (officia juris), or duties of virtue, that is, ethical duties(officia virtutis s. ethica).

excerpt: Chapter 1: Philosophy, Ethics and PracticeReligion, Social Science, and PhilosophyThis section distinguishes philosophy and philosophical ethicsfrom both theology and the empirical sciences. A centralconcern of moral philosophy is to assess and/or justify moralviews. Examples of this approach can be found in Plato'sEuthyphro and Crito .Explanation and JustificationIn the Crito , Socrates tried to offer both an explanation for hisactions (he wanted to do 'the right thing') and a justification forhis actions (in the arguments that he put forth).Can our reasons for answering 'the Practical Question' (viz.,"What ought I do?") be grounded in something 'objective' likeHuman Nature or are they merely 'subjective opinions'?

excerpt: DECREE ON THE MEANS OFSOCIAL COMMUNICATIONVatican IIInter Mirifica4 December 19631. Man's genius with God's help produced marvellous techni-cal inventions from creation, especially in our times. The Church,our mother, is particularly interested in those which directly touchman's spirit and which have opened up new avenues of easy communica-tion of all kinds of news, of ideas and orientations. Chief among them are those means of communication which of their nature can reach and influence not merely single individuals but the very masses ...

excerpt: 1748AN ENQUIRY CONCERNING HUMAN UNDERSTANDINGby David HumeSect. I. Of the different Species of Philosophy1. Moral philosophy, or the science of human nature, may betreated after two different manners; each of which has its peculiarmerit, and may contribute to the entertainment, instruction, andreformation of mankind. The one considers man chiefly as born foraction; and as influenced in his measures by taste and sentiment;pursuing one object, and avoiding another, according to the valuewhich these objects seem to possess, and according to the light inwhich they present themselves. As virtue, of all objects, is allowedto be the most valuable, this species of philosophers paint her in themost amiable colours; borrowing all helps from poetry and eloquence

excerpt: 1788THE CRITIQUE OF PRACTICAL REASONby Immanuel Kanttranslated by Thomas Kingsmill AbbottPREFACEPREFACE.This work is called the Critique of Practical Reason, not of thepure practical reason, although its parallelism with the speculativecritique would seem to require the latter term. The reason of thisappears sufficiently from the treatise itself. Its business is to showthat there is pure practical reason, and for this purpose itcriticizes the entire practical faculty of reason. If it succeeds inthis, it has no need to criticize the pure faculty itself in orderto see whether reason in making such a claim does not presumptuouslyoverstep itself (as is the case with the speculative reason). Forif, as pure reason, it is actually practical, it proves
