Rather than rejecting self-interest, he integrates it within a broader moral framework, arguing that true harmony arises when conscience governs the whole. His reasoning stands in quiet opposition to more reductive views of human behaviour, insisting on the legitimacy of moral intuition and the reality of ethical obligation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sermons have had a lasting impact on both philosophy and theology, influencing later thinkers concerned with moral psychology and ethical theory. Their style-measured, logical, and cumulative-reflects Butler's commitment to persuasion through reason rather than rhetoric. For readers interested in the development of moral philosophy, Anglican theology, and the intellectual history of ethics, this work remains of enduring significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 03, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46582570844357,"sku":"9781515428329","price":42.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/upGDSPk6jp9781515428329_403fbe60-efed-424c-8006-d70e9d8399ac.webp?v=1784802325","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/human-nature-and-other-sermons-on-conscience-virtue-and-moral-order-hardcover-1","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
