Joseph Butler's Fifteen Sermons (1726) is a classic work of moral
philosophy, widely influential ever since. The topics Butler
discusses include the role of conscience in human nature, self-love
and egoism, compassion, resentment and forgiveness, love of our
neighbour and of God. The text of the second edition of the Sermons
is here presented together with a selection of Butler's other
ethical writings: the Dissertation of the Nature of Virtue, a
sermon on hypocrisy and liberty preached before the House of Lords,
and relevant extracts from his correspondence with Samuel Clarke.
David McNaughton contributes a substantial historical and
philosophical introduction to help readers understand these works
and see their continuing importance. While it is a readers' edition
which avoids the clutter of textual variants and intrusive
footnotes, it comes complete with scholarly apparatus intended to
aid the reader in studying Butler's work in depth. McNaughton also
includes short summaries of Butler's predecessors, and a selective
bibliography. This will be the definitive resource for anyone
interested in Butler's moral philosophy.
