Social Rights And Duties: Addresses to Ethical Societies. Vol 2 [of 2]

"Social Rights And Duties: Addresses to Ethical Societies. Vol 2 [of 2]" by Leslie Stephen is a collection of speeches that examines moral ideas and our duties to each other in society. It tackles heavy topics such as what we inherit from our families, how we punish people, discussing what authors owe to the public. Stephen looks at how complicated morals can be, and how our actions affect what is right and wrong; starting with exploring how our inherited traits play into ethics. He understands that people worry about this idea and what it means for our ability to be morally responsible. Stephen uses stories and thoughtful questions, and critiques of society to argue that recognizing heredity helps us to have a better understanding of ethical problems, not hurting our morals, and framing them within the context of social and biological influences.
