Summary "Abraham Lincoln's Cardinal Traits" by Clark S. Beardslee is a scholarly ethical study written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the moral qualities of Abraham Lincoln, examining how his character exemplifies essential virtues that serve as a foundation for ethical and civic conduct. The book aims to encourage readers to reflect on Lincoln's exemplary life and the implications it holds for humanity and ethical research. The opening of this study presents a profound introduction to how Lincoln’s attributes—such as honesty, kindness, humility, and moral earnestness—are central to understanding his legacy and the impact he had during a tumultuous period in American history. Beardslee draws attention to the significance of Lincoln's last inaugural address, identifying it as a reflection of his moral philosophy that encompasses a broad analysis of ethics, law, and the inherent dignity of all individuals. This approach sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Lincoln’s life, wherein his ideals and the practical applications of his principles are meticulously scrutinized, encouraging readers to appreciate the depth of his character and its relevance to contemporary ethical dilemmas.
