The Origins of Morality
Book Abstract
In this book, Daniel A. Briggs, Ph.D., PsyA, not only challenges many of the popular theories that underpin “front runner” views on the origins of morality but also exposes many of the flaws found in them. Some of the theorists challenged in this book are such notables as Hume, Bentham, Epicurus, Lemaitre, Hubble, Freud, Adler, Hawking, Dawkins and Haidt, to name a few. And some of the theories challenged are the Big Bang, Evolution, GST, Memes, Kin Selection, Reciprocal Altruism, Hedonistic Calculus and many more.
This book sheds light on consilient and convergent reasons why widely accepted theories should be reexamined to either incorporate new ideas, reinstate some ancient ideas or in many cases conduct long overdue theory funerals, in order to provide a more logical and a more enlightened answer to the origins of morality question. Basic understanding of human morality becomes more convoluted going forward as theorists continue to abandon or neglect fundamental truths that have always been critical to it and that enable the understanding of it. This treatise is a must read for every college student, professor, cleric and layperson alike. It will take you to places where you have never been, especially “outside the box.”
One of the main premises of this book, the UTA, was endorsed by Rev. Dr. David Bernard (UPCI General Supt.) in the early nineties when it was first being developed. A copy of that interview is available upon request and will be a part of an upcoming book soon to be published.
This book is now available in three formats: Harbound, Softbound and E-book. For complete details, book preview and book reviews, you can now go to the book's official website, by clicking here.
