Morality as a Religion: An Exposition of Some First Principles

Originally published in 1892, this influential work of religious philosophy argues that morality can function as a religion in its own right. W. R. Washington Sullivan contends that the ethical principles of truth, justice, and love are both universal and necessary for a fulfilling life, and that they can motivate people to live more deeply and meaningfully. Drawing on both religious and secular sources, Morality as a Religion is a powerful and eloquent statement of the ethical life.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
