Treatise On Moral Evidence (1850)

A Treatise On Moral Evidence is a philosophical work written by Edward Arthur Smedley in 1850. The book explores the concept of moral evidence, which refers to the evidence that is derived from moral reasoning and ethical principles. Smedley argues that moral evidence is just as valid as empirical evidence, and that it should be used in the same way to make decisions and judgments. Throughout the book, Smedley discusses various topics related to moral evidence, including the nature of moral reasoning, the relationship between morality and religion, and the role of moral evidence in legal and political decision-making. He also examines the limitations of moral evidence, and how it can be subject to bias and subjective interpretation.Overall, A Treatise On Moral Evidence is a comprehensive and thought-provoking work that explores the complex and often overlooked role of moral reasoning in our understanding of the world. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in philosophy, ethics, or the intersection of morality and law.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
