Moral objectivism based on a metaphysical dualism is no longer tenable. In his "Expanding Circle" Peter Singer argued for a moral objectivism based on "reason', but perfectly rational agents disagree on morality all the time. There are at... more

It is hard to explain how human morality has evolved. Explanations regarding evolutionary self-interest seem to explain away the phenomenon, rather than illuminating it. But without showing how behaving morally helped our ancestors to... more
We thank C. S. I. Jenkins and Neil Levy for their thoughtful comments on our article about love and addiction (Earp, Wudarczyk, Foddy, & Savulescu, in press). While we do not have room for a comprehensive reply, we would like to touch on... more
Friedrich Nietzsche, Mark Twain, and Joseph Conrad all came to the same conclusion at roughly the same time: that a discourse of morality, rather than promoting the social good, actually sets the stage for human rights abuses. In this... more

The book by Joseph Jordania, award-winning ethnomusicologist and evolutionary musicologist from the University of Melbourne addresses questions usually neglected in works dedicated to the history of science. How is the existing system of... more
In writing Heart of Darkness, Conrad made a crucial discovery. Morality does not prevent genocide. Quite the contrary, genocide occurs because of moral discourses. It was for this reason that Conrad rejected morality. To put the... more
This paper aims to understand how the Qur’an prescribes relations between humans and animals. I discuss the Qur’anic epistemologies of morality and bring them into conversation with esoteric claims of hypernomian versus baseline morality.... more
Sam Harris, in his book The Moral Landscape, argues that “science can determine human values.” Against this view, I argue that while secular moral philosophy can certainly help us to determine our values, science—at least as that word is... more
Stressing that the pronoun "I" picks out one and only one person in the world (i.e., me), I argue against Hunt (and other like-minded Rand commentators) that the supposed "hard case" of destructive people who do not care for their own... more
Morality is the differentiation of intentions, decisions and actions between those good/right and those that are bad/wrong. The present essay aims at evaluating the theory of moral development proposed by Kohlberg. The essay is evaluated... more
This is a book dedicated to the neglected topic of human evolution - the defense system of our distant ancestors. The central argument is that the evolutionary competition between the human ancestors and the ancestors of the big cats in... more
Introduction: The aim of the present study was to investigate the predicting role of the big five personality traits in the four components of moral decision-making. Method: The population of this descriptive-correlation study included... more
Recent advances in evolutionary biology and ethology suggest that humans are not the only species capable of empathy and possibly morality. These findings are of no little consequence for theology, given that a nonhuman animal as a free... more
An essay review of Richard Wrangham's "The Goodness Paradox". I summarize and then evaluate the book’s overall argument. I pay special attention to Wrangham's ideas about connections between human self-domestication and the evolution of... more
In ancestral human environments, muscularity and height (in males) and physical attractiveness (in both sexes) would theoretically have correlated positively with one’s social status, and thus with one’s ability to benefit from social... more
Swami Vivekananda's ideas on Morality & Ethics, in his own words. Although he did not spell out a formal philosophy, using his own words, this article attempts to build such a structure of thought.
Contrary to the misinformation-disinformation or paltering, lies, and deception found on the internet surfacing under the general discipline of “New Age Spirituality” nowadays, the negative aliens do NOT only ‘live’ in the Astral Plane,... more
