ESSAY ON: Joseph Butler’s Concept of Benevolence

Number of Pages 6

This research paper: A 6 page paper discussing two views of Bishop Butler’s pronouncements of the worth of self love. Joseph Butler (1692-1752) is a pre-utilitarianism, pre-Freud minister who took note of the concept of self-love as not only being morally acceptable, but as constituting a primary impetus for “good works” and benevolence. One of the authors discussed agrees; the other does not wholly disagree but fails to disprove Butler’s position philosophically. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
