Studies New and Old of Ethical and Social Subjects - Frances Power Cobbe - Bog

""Studies New and Old of Ethical and Social Subjects"" is a book written by Frances Power Cobbe, a prominent British writer, social reformer, and feminist activist of the Victorian era. The book is a collection of essays that explore various ethical and social issues of the time, including women's rights, animal welfare, religion, and social justice. The essays in the book are divided into two parts - the first part includes new studies that Cobbe had written specifically for this book, while the second part includes some of her older essays that had been previously published in various periodicals. In the first part, Cobbe discusses topics such as the moral education of women, the importance of women's suffrage, and the role of women in society. She argues that women should have equal rights and opportunities as men, and that their education should be geared towards developing their moral and intellectual capacities. In the second part, Cobbe's essays cover a wide range of subjects, including the ethics of vivisection (animal experimentation), the nature of religion, and the importance of social reform. She argues that society has a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and marginalized, and that individuals have a duty to act ethically and morally in their personal and professional lives. Overall, ""Studies New and Old of Ethical and Social Subjects"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a glimpse into the social and ethical concerns of the Victorian era. Cobbe's essays are well-written and persuasive, and her ideas and arguments are still relevant today.1866.
