Ethics
A Class Manual in Moral Philosophy
Reprint of the Edition 1945 St. Louise, London
Abstract
Glenn’s Ethics is a Scholastic manual designed as a clear and systematic introduction to moral philosophy for students . The work likely grounds moral reasoning in a natural law framework, a common feature of Thomistic philosophy, focusing on the objective principles of human action, the nature of virtue, and the ultimate end of human life—rather than surveying modern ethical theories like consequentialism.
