Social Entropian Ethics 2nd Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798227538048)

Society as we know it is structured according to edicts laid down centuries past; edicts derived from sacred writings, from charismatic orators, and from the founding fathers of vaulted institutions. These sources hold sway over society often by no more than the boldness of their assertions. However bold these assertions may be, if they are provided little to no external support then they are destine to go extinct under deconstructing by later generations leaving a society vulnerable to social anomie, loss of freedom, and oppression. To avoid this fate, a new moral foundation must be laid to guide society; one that is not propped up by dogma or charisma but by logic and mathematics, and tempered by empirical support. This book endeavors to derive such a moral foundation, one that is secular and liberal, promoting freedom, novelty, equality, and independence.

We are at an impasse. The old pillars of society are crumbling. We can either let new pillars take over and trap us in a societal prison, or we can pursue the derivation of a new science of morality that can grant us the autonomy to derive universal moral truths independent of edicts of current or long passed figureheads. Just as we can free our basic units of measurement from their dependence on material prototypes, we can free the values of liberty and equality from their dependence on parchments and priests. This book can show the way.
