      Exploring the foundations of moral philosophy, this book distills a series of lectures from Cambridge University, focusing on three key traditions: Platonic-Christian, Utilitarian, and Humanist. Each tradition is examined for its unique perspectives on ethics and morality, offering insights into how these schools of thought have shaped human understanding and behavior. The work serves as a bridge between historical philosophical concepts and their relevance in contemporary discussions of morality.

      An account of the essentially Aristotelian philosophy of John Sergeant (1623-1707) and his Blackloist colleagues, Kenelm Digby and Thomas White. Sergeant and his circle were concerned to present a theology and philosophy immune to sceptical doubts; and, though hitherto neglected, they exemplify an important aspect of seventeenth-century thought.
