Vladimir Solovyov develops a systematic account of moral life, beginning with shame, pity and reverence and asking how these experiences lead beyond private feeling toward obligations to others. The argument connects individual conduct with family, society, law, punishment, economic life and the wider moral significance of human history.
Rather than treating ethics as a list of isolated rules, the book considers how different duties and institutions fit into an account of the good. Its final discussion relates moral philosophy to knowledge and metaphysics. This complete 1918 English translation by Nathalie A. Duddington includes Stephen Graham’s introductory note and the original scholarly material; it is an older philosophical work, separate from the seven recent-book slots.
