Summary "Practical Ethics" by William De Witt Hyde is a philosophical treatise on ethical conduct written in the late 19th century. This work seeks to blend theory and practicality, focusing on the essential duties, virtues, and vices related to various aspects of daily life and decision-making. The text aims to guide readers toward a deeper understanding of their moral responsibilities, illustrating how ethical behavior is foundational to personal and societal well-being. At the start of the book, Hyde stresses the importance of ethics as both a science and an art that governs conduct. He emphasizes that life is a complex web of interactions requiring constant adjustment and moral consideration. The introduction lays the groundwork for exploring major ethical themes, defining duty as the ideal balance between self and other objects, elucidating concepts of virtue as mastery over oneself, and acknowledging vice as yielding to temptation in its myriad forms. Through practical examples, Hyde aims to illustrate how ethical living is tied to personal fulfillment and societal progress. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
