Synopsis "treatise on ethics (1684)"

written seven years after publication of his search after truth, malebranches treatise on ethics develops a detailed, `experimental science of ethics in two parts; the ethics of virtue and the ethics of duty. part one distinguishes six sources of motivation: sense perceptions, passions, imagination, and `inner feelings of love as-respect, as-goodwill and as-esteem. he examines how each is to be evaluated. this is interwoven with an aristotelian analysis of act and habit, and voluntary vs. involuntary acts, and practical reasoning. this part concludes with two basic virtues; `the strength of the mind and `freedom of the mind. part two explores our duties to ourselves. to others, to our sovereign, and to god. the translators introduction discusses the place of malebranches ethics within his larger system, his borrowings and innovations, and his impact on later philosophers. craig walton is professor of philosophy and director of the institute for ethics and policy studies at the university of nevada, las vegas.
