Drawing upon both philosophical reasoning and Christian thought, Porter examines the foundations of moral behaviour, virtue, and the relationship between the individual and society. Widely used in universities and theological colleges during the late nineteenth century, the work provides a valuable insight into the teaching of ethics at a time when moral philosophy occupied a central place in higher education. This copy is especially appealing as a contemporary University of Edinburgh prize volume, bearing the gilt university armorial roundel to the upper cover.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe Elements of Moral Science, by Noah Porter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePublished by Sampson Low, Marston, Searle \u0026amp; Rivington, London. 1885.
