About this audiobook
John Witherspoon’s Lectures on Moral Philosophy, delivered at the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University), stands as a foundational text in American moral and political thought. As a signer of the Declaration of Independence and influential teacher of James Madison, the Scottish-born Presbyterian minister and philosopher presented a conscience-centered system of ethics rooted in natural law, virtue, duty, and the alignment of reason with Scripture. This unabridged public-domain recording of the 1912 edition offers his complete lectures as a resource for the serious cultivation of conscience and the disciplined fusion of duty and contentment.
