Description

James R. Flynn challenges the notion that humane ideals are inherently subjective and without rational basis. In this thought-provoking analysis, he argues that logic and evidence can play a crucial role in moral debate.

Flynn examines various philosophical and social science perspectives, including those of Nietzsche and Social Darwinists, to demonstrate their limitations and flaws. He makes a compelling case for the continued relevance of justice as a universal goal, reducing inequality, and abolishing privilege.
