{"product_id":"9781910146316","title":"The Scientific Basis of Morals","description":"William Kingdon Clifford, FRS (1845-79) was an English mathematician and philosopher. His areas of research were very wide ranging and in this book, published posthumously, he demonstrates his interest in applying rational and scientific thought to the moral and ethical questions of human existence.\u003cp\u003eThe book republishes four of Clifford's essays:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Scientific Basis of Morals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight and Wrong: The Scientific Ground of their Distinction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ethics of Belief\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ethics of Religion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven in our own 'post-modern age', it may be appropriate to reflect on Clifford's maxim of 'it is wrong always, everywhere and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence'. Perhaps humanity should apply Clifford's thought processes to the present-day problems of religious extremism, climate change and 'fake news'. \u003cp\u003eThis edition features short footnotes adding some explanations to the terms used in the original publication.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Solis Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033143623920,"sku":"9781910146316","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781910146316_p0.jpg?v=1763626609","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781910146316","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
