Moral Science; a Compendium of Ethics
1789
Moral Science; a Compendium of Ethics, written by Alexander Bain and first published in 1789, is a philosophical treatise that explores the foundations of ethical theory. Bain examines various ethical standards from antiquity to modern thought, articulating the connections between ethics and psychology. The work is divided into two main sections: the theory of ethics and ethical systems, addressing fundamental questions about moral obligations and the nature of right and wrong. Bain argues that understanding ethical principles is essential for societal welfare and the harmony of human interactions.
