Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, the latest work by the author, is an erudite and comprehensive guide to the principles of ethics. Morals are a vital aspect of human life, and are essential to civilization. The author sets out from the position that the rightness or wrongness of actions is not based on the nature of man, the will of God, or any external source. Instead, the parameters of right and wrong are embedded in the fundamental structure of reality itself. Actions are evaluated by contrasting them to the nature of the universe and our place within it. The author builds upon prior philosophical thought, yet also presents a fresh framework for understanding the theoretical basis of moral dilemmas, offering a pragmatic and logical approach to ethics that will appeal to the layperson and professional philosopher alike. By profoundly examining the relationship between actions and their consequences, this book provides indispensable insights into the fundamental principles of ethics.
