Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the thorny question of whether moral good and evil are inherently fixed or simply matters of social convention or divine decree. Examining the views of prominent philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, and Epicurus, the author explores a debate that has resonated across centuries. The book engages with the historical argument that morality is not inherent but rather defined by human laws and customs. It challenges the notion that an omnipotent deity can arbitrarily determine what is right and wrong, arguing that such a view undermines the very foundation of ethical reasoning. The author contends that there must be a fundamental, immutable nature of justice that transcends human laws and divine commands. Throughout the book, the author meticulously dissects various philosophical arguments and theological perspectives, demonstrating how the concept of an arbitrary morality ultimately leads to contradictions and an unstable worldview. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the enduring question of moral absolutes, offering insights that continue to be relevant to contemporary discussions of ethics and religion.
