| Summary | "Social Rights And Duties: Addresses to Ethical Societies. Vol 2 [of 2]" by Leslie Stephen is a philosophical treatise written in the late 19th century. The work consists of a series of addresses that explore ethical concepts and social responsibilities, engaging with subjects like heredity, punishment, and the duties of authors. Stephen discusses the complexities of moral philosophy and the implications of social behavior on ethics. The opening of this volume delves into the concept of heredity, where Stephen reflects on the connections between inherited traits and ethical considerations. He acknowledges the general fear surrounding the doctrine of heredity in terms of its implications for morality and moral responsibility, asserting that such beliefs should not detract from ethical reasoning. Stephen adeptly interweaves anecdotes, philosophical inquiries, and social criticism, ultimately arguing that understanding heredity does not undermine moral agency, suggesting instead that it enriches ethical discussions by framing them within a broader context of social and biological influences.
