Space, Time and the Ethical Foundations by Robert E. Allinson
A philosophical debate on space and time. This book examines the physics and the philosophy of time and space, it looks at human nature, their emotions and morality. The text also examines the idea that the real and the virtual are inseperable.In this volume, ideas about space and time are developed, for the first time in the history of philosophy, that match the new physics. A new foundation is laid for ethics by grounding ethics on the author's psycho-biological deduction of the emotions, offering a progressive model to replace the Freudian paradigm. Doubly grounded on both Eastern and Western thought, insights from biology, psychology, evolutionary theory and ethics are brought together in a unique and fruitful synthesis. At the same time, human barbarisms such as the Holocaust are pointed to as reminders that there are just limits to compassion. This book presents a sophisticated text for metaphysics, epistemology and systematic ethics. |
