Why And Because: The Art And Science Of Moral And Ethical Understanding

Do you know right from wrong? Most people are confident they can tell right from wrong. We make ethical judgments instantly for simple matters and require little deliberation for more complex issues. Some people are so confident they are right and others are wrong, that they are willing to die to defend their positions or kill others who disagree with them or their group. Adults tell kids what is right and wrong every day, but how do they know? If you are making an assertion of right or wrong, how can you be certain that you are right? The fundamental question that ethics deals with is: how do you know you are right? Few people stop and think about that question. Fewer still have a good answer. Why and Because provides a method for deriving ethical truth independent of time or culture. It explores some of the main reasons why agreement on moral matters appears to be so elusive. An afternoon with this book will help you to convince others why you are right . . . once you convince yourself.
