On The Philosophy Of Temperance, Part 1: And The Physical Causes Of Moral Sadness is a book written by William Moore Wooler and published in 1840. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part discussing the philosophy of temperance and the second part exploring the physical causes of moral sadness. In the first part, Wooler delves into the concept of temperance and its importance in leading a virtuous life. He argues that temperance is not just about abstaining from alcohol or other vices, but also about cultivating a balanced and moderate approach to all aspects of life. Wooler draws on various philosophical and religious traditions to support his arguments and provides practical advice for individuals seeking to cultivate temperance in their own lives.In the second part of the book, Wooler examines the physical causes of moral sadness, which he defines as a state of melancholy or depression that arises from a sense of moral failure or guilt. He explores the ways in which physical factors such as diet, exercise, and sleep can impact one’s emotional and mental wellbeing, and provides suggestions for how individuals can take care of their physical health in order to avoid or alleviate moral sadness.Overall, On The Philosophy Of Temperance, Part 1: And The Physical Causes Of Moral Sadness is a thought-provoking and informative read for anyone interested in the topics of temperance, morality, and mental health.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
