DESCRIPTION
When everybody has a different starting point in life, determined by physical environment, gene, history, social conditions, economic opportunities, cultural climate and the freedom and cooperation which are allowed by the people ruling and controlling the resources and institutions of the society, is it possible to find a universal foundation of moral for all, irrespective of time and place, culture, environment, economic development and mental capacities of the individuals? What are the ways to build such a foundation of moral? Can one find them in the ideas of heaven as many religions have prescribed, or in the realm of pure reason as professed by philosopher Kant? Is there any necessity of the existence of God in deciding the question what is right and wrong? Once such a foundation can be found, what are the practical ways to implement those ideas in daily life? For many the tension between individual freedom and desire to satisfy one`s ego, while seeking self- development in one side, and making comprise and sacrifice as respect for others` need for freedom and development, through sharing and cooperation on the other side, has determined much of the dilemma to decide what is good and bad action. Thus, individualism creates a complex social maze, where morality is perceived differently by different persons. The book deals with this complexity of the moral issue and tries to throw lights on it from rational understanding of the cosmos and the biological science. It attempts to penetrate into difficult questions of sociology, psychology and philosophy as well. It also has a part which defies reason and listens to the inner voice. This part involves the existence of God which would be of interest for people studying religion and esoteric subjects. It may provoke the readers with messages which the author ascribes to the existence of God.
