Reproduction of the original: A Lie never Justifiable by H. Clay Trumbull

Whether a lie is ever justifiable, is a question that has been in discussion, not only in all the Christian centuries, but ever since questions concerning human conduct were first a possibility. On the one hand, it has been claimed that a lie is by its very nature irreconcilable with the eternal principles of justice and right; and, on the other hand, it has been asserted that great emergencies may necessitate a departure from all ordinary rules of human conduct, and that therefore there may be, in an emergency, such a thing as the "lie of necessity."

"A Lie Never Justifiable: A Study in Ethics" by Henry Clay Trumbull is a book that aimed to look at ethics as the title would have one believe. Ethics have always been a topic of debate. From right and wrong to the morality of lying, humans have always been fascinated with what is or is not considered ethical. Trumball's book helps bring that debate further to light.
