Bøker av W. R. Sorley

""Recent Tendencies In Ethics: Three Lectures To Clergy"" is a book written by W. R. Sorley and published in 1904. The book contains three lectures that were delivered to clergy members and focus on the changing trends in ethical philosophy during the early 20th century. Sorley discusses the impact of Darwinism on ethics, the rise of pragmatism, and the importance of moral intuition. He also explores the relationship between ethics and religion, arguing that morality is not dependent on religious belief. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the major ethical debates of the time and remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of philosophy and theology.

First published in 1918 and originally delivered as the Gifford Lectures in the University of Aberdeen in 1914 and 1915, this book is concerned with the relation between the true foundation of ethics and the true knowledge of God.

William Richie Sorley (1855-1935) was a Scottish idealist philosopher who specialised in ethics. Originally published in 1919, this book gathers together the substance of three lay sermons delivered by Sorley in Cambridge during 1918 and 1919. The sermons all concern themselves with the religious aspects of reconstruction and renewal.

The Moral Life by W. R. Sorley was first published in 1911 and reissued as this third edition in 1920. The volume presents an account of the nature of goodness in humanity, taking the perspective that morality is a spirit manifested in life rather than a body of rules.
