DUBLIN EXAMINATION PAPERS,

1874.

UNDERGRADUATE HONOR EXAMINATION PAPERS. Hilary Term.

SENIOR SOPHISTERS.

Ethics.

BUTLER AND STEWART.

DR. STUBBS.

I. In what cases, according to Butler, does Shaftesbury's system fail? Show that it does fail, and that Butler's system supplies the remedy. 2. What are the chief or superior principles in the nature of man; and why are they so?

3. What cautions must be used in making the inward frame of man a guide in morals ?

4. Stewart says that "the notions of reward and punishment presuppose the notions of right and wrong. They are sanctions of virtue; but they suppose the existence of some previous obligation." Write a note explaining these words.

5. By what analogy does Stewart show that it is a priori likely that there should be implanted in the human mind a peculiar class of active principles whose object should be the good of others.

6. Stewart cites an instance in which the study of final causes promoted physical knowledge.

7. Give a short summary of Butler's argument in his first three

sermons.
