"Essays, or Discourses, vol. 2 (of 4): Selected from the works of Feyjoo" is a collection of philosophical essays written in the late 18th century. The book addresses various moral and societal issues, discussing themes such as justice, truth, and the role of patriotism in public life. It emphasizes the responsibilities of judges, the implications of lying, and the nature of national pride, with the underlying goal of promoting a more equitable and truthful society. The opening of the collection sets the stage for profound reflections on justice and morality, particularly in the discourse titled "The Balance of Astrea; or, Upright Administration of Justice." In a letter from an experienced judge to his newly appointed son, the text explores the burdens of judicial responsibility and the necessity for impartiality amidst personal connections and societal pressures. The dialogue encompasses fears of corruption through avarice or favoritism, advocating for judges to be unwaveringly dedicated to truth and justice in their duties. This intricate exploration of moral philosophy immediately draws readers into a deeper contemplation of ethical governance and personal integrity, establishing a strong foundation for the essays that follow.
