Readers' Favorite 2017 International Book Awards Winner and Beverly
Hills 2017 Book Awards Winner in Philosophy category. What is the
unique and most important feature that distinguishes man from all
other living beings? Why is it that, contrary to the instinct of
self-preservation, a parent will throw themselves headlong into
fire or water to save their child? Why do people get married and
why do they get divorced? Why do people have extra-marital affairs
and why do two people in a couple become jealous of one another?
What is Love? When and why did the type of sex emerge among human
beings that is free of any reproductive function? Why are the
social and behavioural distinctions between men and women being
rapidly erased? Why, despite everything, is the world becoming more
tolerant than it was in previous centuries? People are born with
different intellectual, spiritual and physical capabilities. So why
do we assert that all people are equal? Can the world without
violence exist? If not, under what circumstances and to what kind
of violence does man have a right? Wherein lies the origin of this
right? Where is the root of our morality? Why do our moral values
change over time? Do absolute moral values exist? Why has Man, on
the whole, never observed (or perhaps is incapable of observing) a
set of various religious commandments? Should we observe them? Are
they the decree of God? By which "commandments" do we really live
our lives and is it possible to formulate them in such a way that
we could realistically observe them? What is Good? And what is
Evil? Is there a simple criterion by which one may distinguish Good
from Evil? In which direction is humanity evolving and is it
governed by some universal law? Is there any meaning to life? Is it
possible to give a clear and straightforward answer to all these
questions? It is, in fact, possible!
