This a remarkably honest and transparent audiobook on the evolution of morality and how it is a necessary illusion.

We should be very careful, when trying to scrutinize our cosmos. Who knows, if we succeed, if we have a major breakthrough, we might just blow it all.

One of the key figures of the Scottish Enlightenment, Smith is the author of The Theory of Moral Sentiments and The Wealth of Nations, his magnum opus and the first modern work of economics.

THIS is a book for the top shelf, out of the boy’s reach. Not that its counsels are bad; though it frankly takes the risk of going behind rules and commands to principles and freedom. The reason why no boy should read it is that it describes stages through which the normal boy should pass in entire unconsciousness that such stages exist That was not a wholesome attitude revealed by a Seattle boy, who, in reply to his teacher’s question, “What is the matter with you, James?" replied, “Oh, I'm passing through adolescence." Parents, teachers and leaders, however, ought to know these ...

Today, human exceptionalism is the norm. Despite occasional nods to animal welfare, we prioritize humanity, often neglecting the welfare of a vast number of beings. As a result, we use hundreds of billions of vertebrates and trillions of invertebrates every year for a variety of purposes. We also plan to use animals, AI systems, and other nonhumans at even higher levels in the future. Yet as the dominant species, humanity has a responsibility to ask: Which nonhumans matter, how much do they matter, and what do we owe them in a world reshaped by human activity and technology?

In this Very Short Introduction audiobook, Christopher Taylor explores the life of Socrates and his philosophical activity, before looking to the responses his philosophical doctrines have evoked in the centuries since his betrayal and execution at fellow Athenian hands.

In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding. His starting point is moral intuition - the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right.

In his classic study The Expanding Circle, Peter Singer argues that altruism began as a genetically based drive to protect one's kin and community members but has developed into a consciously chosen ethic with an expanding circle of moral concern. Drawing on philosophy and evolutionary psychology, he demonstrates that human ethics cannot be explained by biology alone.

A belief in free will touches nearly everything that human beings value. It is difficult to think about law, politics, religion, public policy, intimate relationships, morality—as well as feelings of remorse or personal achievement—without first imagining that every person is the true source of his or her thoughts and actions. And yet the facts tell us that free will is an illusion.

These are the early letters, poems, ideas, thoughts of a writer in the very beginning. Figuring out life, attempting to make sense of the people around, and the environment which surrounds.

One can be inspired to start writing, from seeing the very early attempts for a person to be understood, while figuring the world out. Journal writing at its finest, but this is no Dear Diary. Many innocent feelings and a lot of emotion....

As David Brooks observes, “There is one skill that lies at the heart of any healthy person, family, school, community organization, or society: the ability to see someone else deeply and make them feel seen—to accurately know another person, to let them feel valued, heard, and understood.”
