Book Description
Are human beings linked by a common nature, one that makes them see the world in the same moral way? Or are they fragmented by different cultural practices and values? These fundamental questions of our existence were debated in the Enlightenment by Locke, Shaftesbury, and Hutcheson. Daniel Carey provides an important new historical perspective on their discussion. At the same time, he explores the relationship between these founding arguments and contemporary disputes over cultural diversity and multiculturalism. Our own conflicting positions today reflect long-standing differences that emerged during the Enlightenment.

Book Description
1742. Although the main practical principles, which are repeated in this treatise, have this prejudice in their favor, that they have been taught and propagated by the best of men in all ages, yet there is reason to fear that renewed treatises upon subjects so often well managed may be looked upon as superfluous. In this essay, the proofs and illustrations of this point that we have a moral sense, and a sense of honor by which we discern an immediate good in virtue and honor, are not much insisted on since they have been laid down in previous treatises. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read. Old English text.Customer Reviews:
