An Inquiry into the Principles of Human Happiness and Human Duty: In Two Books is a philosophical treatise written by George Ramsay. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which explores the nature of human happiness and how it can be achieved. Ramsay argues that true happiness is not found in material possessions or external circumstances, but rather in the cultivation of virtues such as wisdom, justice, and benevolence.The second part of the book focuses on human duty and the moral obligations that individuals have towards themselves and others. Ramsay argues that morality is not simply a matter of following rules or obeying authority, but rather a matter of cultivating a sense of responsibility and compassion towards others.Throughout the book, Ramsay draws on a wide range of philosophical and religious traditions, including Stoicism, Christianity, and Enlightenment thought. He also engages with contemporary debates on topics such as free will, determinism, and the nature of the self.Overall, An Inquiry into the Principles of Human Happiness and Human Duty is a thoughtful and nuanced exploration of some of the most fundamental questions of human existence.

Instinct and Reason: Or The First Principles of Human Knowledge is a philosophical treatise written by George Ramsay and published in 1862. The book explores the origins and nature of human knowledge, arguing that it is derived from both instinct and reason. Ramsay contends that instinctual knowledge is innate and universal, while rational knowledge is acquired through experience and reflection. He also examines the relationship between these two forms of knowledge, and how they interact in the formation of human beliefs and understanding. Ramsay's work draws on the ideas of other philosophers such as John Locke, Immanuel Kant, and David Hume, and presents a nuanced and insightful analysis of the foundations of human knowledge. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in philosophy and the nature of human understanding.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Ontology, Or Things Existing is a philosophical work written by George Ramsay and originally published in 1870. The book explores the concept of ontology, which is the study of the nature of existence and reality. Ramsay delves into the question of what it means for something to exist, and examines the different types of existence that can be attributed to objects and concepts. The book is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the nature of existence itself, discussing the different ways in which things can be said to exist. The second part examines the relationship between existence and reality, and how our understanding of existence is shaped by our perception of reality. Finally, the third part explores the implications of ontology for other philosophical fields, such as ethics and epistemology. Throughout the book, Ramsay draws on the work of other philosophers, including Aristotle, Descartes, and Kant, to build his arguments and provide context for his ideas. He also offers his own original insights and perspectives on the nature of existence and reality. Ontology, Or Things Existing is a dense and challenging work that will appeal to readers with a strong interest in philosophy and metaphysics. It remains a significant contribution to the field of ontology, and continues to be studied and debated by philosophers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
