| Summary: | The purpose of Search for A Rational Ethic is to show that men and women of goodwill, for their own good, need an ethical society. To accomplish this, a factual approach is used. Our ethical failures and the problems that they create are examined. From the fields of genetics and sociobiology is drawn information about man's moral nature - its flaws, its potential for good, its variability. In an examination of ethics and normal law, clarity and relevance are achieved by a careful definition of the abstract terms necessary in any discussion of these subjects. A concluding chapter explores the means available in any search for a better world. |
