A Manual of Moral Philosophy

A Manual of Moral Philosophy by Andrew P. delivers a clear, systematic guide to ethical thought rooted in 19th-century moral science and Christian moral instruction. Originally prepared for Harvard freshmen and advanced high school classes, this philosophy manual breaks moral life into accessible parts—action and its springs, the governing principles of right and wrong, conscience, and the sources of moral knowledge from law and Christianity. Peabody’s structured chapters walk listeners through rights and obligations, motive and habit, and the classical virtues: prudence, justice, fortitude, and order—culminating in practical casuistry and surveys of ancient and modern moral philosophy. The tone is educational and practical, reflecting Victorian-era collegiate pedagogy while remaining relevant to contemporary ethical inquiry. Ideal for students of ethics, history of ideas, teachers, and lifelong learners seeking a foundational, historically grounded introduction to moral philosophy, this audiobook offers disciplined reasoning, moral vocabulary, and reflective tools for everyday conduct. Listen to gain a methodical, humane approach to questions of duty, character, and public life.
