Features: The author of Introduction to Ethics is the American philosopher Frank Thilly, who was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. He graduated from the state university in Ohio in 1887 and later studied in Berlin and Heidelberg. Upon returning to the United States, he taught philosophy and psychology at the University of Missouri and Princeton University. This book is a guide to ethics. Unlike contemporary normative ethics, which is primarily didactic, this book traces the origins of "ethics" (or "morality") from a historical perspective and explores its necessity, delving into the ultimate foundation of "virtue" and "perfectibility" in human nature. In an era where moral values are obscured by transient clouds, this book serves as a refreshing balm to dispel the fog.
