Recent Tendencies in Ethics
These lectures were given to a summer meeting of clergy, held at Cambridge in the month of July last. Some passages have been added as they were written out for the press, and the crudities of the spoken word have, I hope, been pruned away; but, in other respects, the original plan of the lectures has been retained. They are now published in the hope that they may prove of interest to those who heard them, and to others who may desire an account, in short compass and in popular form, of some leading features of the ethical thought of the present day.
Recent Tendencies in Ethics
'Recent Tendencies in Ethics' is the publication of a three part series of Lectures on Ethics by the Scottish philosopher W.R. Sorley. Sorley delivered the lectures at Cambridge University in 1904. Sorley's main philosophical interest was the place of moral values in the constitution of the universe. In the book he offers his opinion on what the Ethics of his day appear like and what they should be.
The Letters of Charles Sorley
Originally published in 1919, this book contains letters by Charles Sorley (1895-1915), the renowned First World War British poet.
Moral Values and the Idea of God
First published in 1918 and originally delivered as the Gifford Lectures in the University of Aberdeen in 1914 and 1915, this book is concerned with the relation between the true foundation of ethics and the true knowledge of God. Sorley explores the limits of morality and the problem of the divergence between the order of existence and the moral order, as well as the question of freedom and the very idea of God. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in ethics or in the theistic grounding of morality.
Recent Tendencies in Ethics
""Recent Tendencies In Ethics: Three Lectures To Clergy"" is a book written by W. R. Sorley and published in 1904. The book contains three lectures that were delivered to clergy members and focus on the changing trends in ethical philosophy during the early 20th century. Sorley discusses the impact of Darwinism on ethics, the rise of pragmatism, and the importance of moral intuition. He also explores the relationship between ethics and religion, arguing that morality is not dependent on religious belief. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the major ethical debates of the time and remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of philosophy and theology.
A History of English Philosophy
There are two ways of writing the history of philosophy. One of them sets out from the standpoint of philosophy as conceived by the writer; the other from that of the philosophers themselves. On the former method the fundamental problems of philosophy will be presented at the outset, and each step taken towards their definition and solution will then be noted; whatever is irrelevant to the main issue will be left out of sight, however important it may have been in the minds of some of the philosophers. On the latter method the subject will be approached as it appeared to each philosopher in turn, and the presentation of definite concepts and clear issues will emerge gradually as the story progresses. Each of these methods has its own advantages and its own dangers. The former concentrates upon the essential, but it is liable to miss historical proportion by stressing certain features and overlooking others. The latter keeps in close touch with the documents, but care is needed to prevent the meaning of the whole from being obscured by details.
