''A Dissertation Concerning the Nature of True Virtue'' is a work by American Christian reformer, theologian, author and, pastor Jonathan Edwards originally published posthumously in 1765.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Jonathan Edwards Center at Yale University )〕 The work was published jointly with ''A Dissertation Concerning the End for Which God Created the World''. ==Synopsis==
In ''Virtue'', Edwards describes his views on the different levels of virtue, specifically "common morality" and "true (saving) virtue."〔 God, Edwards argues, had in mind as the end for his creation of the world His own glory and not human happiness. Thus, true virtue does not arise from self-love or from any earth-bound selflessness (these were two common views at the time) but from a desire to see God's glory displayed above all. Love of self, family, or nation is good only to the extent that it magnifies the glory of God.〔
