Excerpt from The Ethics of Hercules: A Study of Man's Body as the Sole Determinant of Ethical Values
There are, for example, those who consider ethics as the humble handmaid Of what is curiously termed revealed religion, and who consequently hold that all the knowledge necessary for the conduct of life has long ago been vouchsafed us by Infallible Wisdom. TO such persons it is of no importance that human nature has actually altered to such an extent as to make it necessary to find new solutions even for ancient problems; nor does it seem to oc cur to them that the homage devoted to the past, may often be simply a pleasant way of escape from the intellectual responsibilities Of the present. A mechanistic ethics plans to undermine the notion that the ethical truth Of one generation is neces sarily sufficient for the problems of the generation that succeeds it, and aims to supersede it with the view that man's progress is dependent, not upon his ability to escape from his problems, but rather upon his ability to analyse and solve them.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book embarks on a fascinating exploration of ethics, not from the traditional standpoint of philosophy or religion, but through the lens of natural science and the mechanics of the human body. The author argues that our ethical values, far from being abstract ideals, are deeply rooted in the structure and functions of our physical selves. Building upon the legacy of thinkers like Socrates and Aristotle, this book delves into the realm of mechanistic psychology, examining how our thoughts, emotions, and actions are all intertwined with our physiological makeup. The author investigates the meaning of ethical terms like 'good' and 'bad', demonstrating how these concepts are ultimately grounded in our bodily responses and the interplay of our muscles and nerves. By drawing connections between seemingly disparate fields, the author unveils a new understanding of ethics as a science, one that sheds light on the biological basis of our moral judgments and the intricate mechanisms that shape our behavior. This book challenges conventional notions of right and wrong, offering a fresh perspective on the age-old quest for a meaningful and fulfilling life. Ultimately, the book's insights suggest that our ethical values are not arbitrary or imposed from outside, but rather emerge naturally from our physical existence, providing a solid foundation for navigating the complexities of human conduct and striving towards a life of virtue.
