Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a critical examination of the state of affairs in the realm of moral philosophy, arguing that a positive system of morality firmly rooted in science, its aim, and its means of realization, has become indispensable. The author believes that such a system is now feasible due to the growth of free thought and the establishment of the republic and inevitable with the advancement of scientific evolution, of which positivism is the culmination. The book establishes that a positive morality is purely human and exclusively scientific in its foundations, its end and its means of realization, thereby discarding any and all solutions that do not have humanity as an intermediary, rendering all systems of morals relative. The author asserts that the advent of positive morals, with humanity for its foundation, is the crowning point of our race's evolution. The truly universal range of positive morality makes it accessible to everyone with a desire for understanding right from wrong, no matter their religious background or lack thereof. This book provides a reasoned and accessible argument for the necessity of a scientific approach to morality and ethics, one that is accessible and applicable to anyone and everyone, regardless of belief or background.
