Golden Rules of Social Philosophy; Or, a New System of Practical Ethics

More about the book

First published in 1865, this book puts forth a new ethical system that aims to provide practical guidance on how to live a good life based on reason, empathy, and social responsibility. The author argues that traditional religious and philosophical systems have failed to keep up with the changing social and economic conditions of modern life and proposes a set of principles that are grounded in the needs and aspirations of ordinary people. The book covers a wide range of topics, including work, family, education, politics, and the environment. A thought-provoking read for anyone interested in ethics and social justice.
