Ethics and Modern Thought: A Theory of Their Relations is a philosophical treatise written by Rudolf Eucken and first published in 1913. In this book, Eucken explores the relationship between ethics and modern thought, arguing that the two are intimately linked and that a proper understanding of one requires an understanding of the other.Eucken begins by examining the historical development of ethical thought, tracing its origins in ancient Greece and Rome through to the present day. He then turns his attention to modern philosophy, exploring the works of thinkers such as Kant, Hegel, and Nietzsche, and analyzing their contributions to the field of ethics.Throughout the book, Eucken emphasizes the importance of ethical principles in guiding human behavior and shaping society. He argues that modern thought has often neglected this aspect of human existence, leading to a crisis of values and a sense of moral relativism. However, Eucken also suggests that a renewed focus on ethics can help to address these issues and provide a foundation for a more just and harmonious society.Overall, Ethics and Modern Thought is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the relationship between ethics and modern philosophy. It remains a significant work in the field of ethics and continues to be studied and debated by philosophers and scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
