A Manual of Moral Philosophy
Andrew Preston Peabody
Appetites, desires, affections: Peabody starts with the raw materials of human nature and builds a complete moral philosophy on top of them. His manual moves from the governing principles of action to the right itself, and how we come to know it. Compact, orderly, and humane, a veteran teacher's whole course between two covers. Ideal for a first serious pass at ethics.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
