Presenting an absolute and universal defense of rational moral law, this work delves into the principle of justice: don’t do to others what you don’t want them to do to you. The present book provides an intellectual platform to advocate universal human rights and to present a strong and uncompromising criticism of skepticism and relativism. It analyzes several modern currents of thought with skeptical or relativistic implications, including a detailed criticism of Descartes, Hume, Schopenhauer, Marx, James, Nietzsche, Freud, Russell, and Heidegger.
Contrary to what skepticism and relativism claim, truth is absolute, and human reason can know at least some truths, including the truth of the principle of justice. Bridging the arguments of Eastern and Western thinkers from ancient times to the postmodern era, this book presents an academic and thorough investigation of the problem, written in clear and simple language.
The Principles of Philosophy is a must-read for anyone seeking an absolute and unwavering defense of truth in an age of doubt and relativism.
