A Treatise On Moral Freedom: Containing Inquiries Into The Operations Of The Intellectual Principles In Connection With Moral Agency And Responsibility

By William Cairns

Book Overview

A Treatise On Moral Freedom, written by William Cairns and published in 1844, is a philosophical exploration of the concept of moral agency and responsibility. The book delves into the complex relationship between the intellectual principles that govern human thought and action, and the moral decisions that individuals make in their daily lives. Cairns argues that true moral freedom is not simply a matter of physical or external circumstances, but is instead rooted in the inner workings of the human mind and the choices that individuals make in response to their own moral convictions. Drawing on a wide range of philosophical and theological sources, Cairns offers a nuanced and insightful analysis of the nature of moral agency and the challenges that individuals face in navigating the complex moral landscape of the modern world. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the philosophy of ethics and the role of human agency in shaping our moral lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
