A Treatise Concerning Eternal and Immutable Morality

"A Treatise Concerning Eternal and Immutable Morality" is a philosophical work by Samuel Pufendorf that explores the idea that moral principles are unchanging and universal, existing independently of human opinions or societal laws. Pufendorf argues that true morality is rooted in natural law—fundamental truths about right and wrong that are eternally valid and discoverable through reason. This means ethical standards are objective, not relative, and apply to all people across all times. The treatise aims to demonstrate that morality is fixed and timeless, providing a foundation for justice, virtue, and proper conduct.
