This book provides an in-depth philosophical analysis of the moral theories
developed within the British empiricist tradition, which played a
functional role in the formation of modern ethical thought. The book
consists of two main parts. The first part offers a conceptual framework
by addressing the definition of ethics, its historical development, and its
various foundations (cosmological, theological, and anthropological). It
also clarifies the distinctions between ethics and morality, and examines
the main areas of debate in modern ethical theories through the lenses
of descriptive, normative, and meta-ethical approaches. The second part
analyzes the philosophical systems of Francis Bacon, Thomas Hobbes,
David Hume, Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill on the basis of their
understandings of knowledge and being, and presents a detailed exposition
of their original moral theories.
Keywords: Bacon; Hobbes; Hume; Bentham; Mill
