The Theory of Moral Sentiments - Enriched edition

Adam Smith

Publisher: DigiCat

Summary

In "The Theory of Moral Sentiments," Adam Smith delves into the intricacies of human morality, exploring the frameworks of sympathy, ethics, and human behavior that underpin social interactions. Written in a style that marries philosophical discourse with psychological inquiry, Smith's seminal work offers a profound examination of the inherent tendencies of human beings toward empathy and judgment. Set against the backdrop of the Enlightenment, this text not only critiques prevailing moral theories but also establishes a foundation for the moral philosophy that would later influence economic thought, culminating in his magnum opus, "The Wealth of Nations." Adam Smith, often hailed as the father of modern economics, was profoundly influenced by the intellectual currents of his time, particularly in moral philosophy. Engaging with the ideas of contemporaries such as David Hume and Rousseau, Smith sought to reconcile individual self-interest with collective well-being, reflecting his deep concern for social harmony. His personal experiences and observations on human relationships undoubtedly shaped his insights into the moral sentiments that govern human interactions. For those interested readers seeking a deeper understanding of morality's role in society and the foundations of ethical behavior, "The Theory of Moral Sentiments" is essential. With its rich philosophical inquiries and poignant reflections, the book remains a cornerstone of moral philosophy, offering timeless insights relevant in an increasingly complex world.

Egyptian Book of the Dead and...

Gerald Massey

There is no death in the Osirian religion, only decay and change, and periodic renewal; only evolution and transformation in the domain of matter and the transubstantiation into spirit. In the so-called death of Osiris it is rebirth, not death, exactly the same as in the changes of external nature. At the close of the day the solar orb went down and left the sun god staring blankly in the dark of death. Taht the moon god met him in Amenta with the eye of Horus as the light the was to illuminate the darkness of the subterranean world. –from “Egyptian Book of the Dead and the Mysteries of Amenta” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World–first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar–redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 4 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey discusses the Egyptian Book of the Dead as the “pre-Christian word of God,” and explores the idea that Amenta, the threshold to the Egyptian underworld, is the first overt expression of a human desire for a noncorporeal afterlife. Massey goes on to connect the “mystery of the mummy” to “the mystery of the Christ” by likening the Christian dogma of physical resurrection to the Egyptian impetus for mummification. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.
