Ethics
A focused group of public-domain works connected by subject, literary setting and recurring questions.
Independent digital catalogue
YERVU's catalogue spans 97 public-domain books, connecting themes from ancient Greek dialogues to modern pragmatism. The four categories—Ethics, Logic, Metaphysics, and Political Philosophy—are not rigid silos; a single work often speaks to several, reflecting philosophy's intertwined questions. For example, a logic textbook might also engage with metaphysics, while a political treatise may rest on ethical assumptions. The catalogue's editorial notes highlight these connections and translation contexts, helping readers trace ideas across traditions. Practical paths are suggested: beginners might start with Plato's 'Apology' for Socratic method, then move to Marcus Aurelius and Dewey; alternatively, explore Eastern thought via Laozi, Zhuangzi, and Tagore, or trace logic's history from Stock through Read to Dewey.
