A BOOK REVIEW FOR: "THE PHILOSOPHY OF MORALS & VALUES"  BY NICOLA PHILO-PSY.Com SITE MAP HOME PAGE BOOK CONTENTS FREE CHAPTER REVIEWS BOOK STORE     Reviewer: Jack Wolf, Ph.D.   'The Philosophy of Morals & Values' is an intriguing departure from the usual philosophical discussion. The author has chosen a relaxed and informal style, bypassing much of the technical jargon and formality of presentation, opting instead for a more conversational approach. This allows easier accessibility for the lay reader, as does the more sparse use of footnotes and other corroborative material. Not that such material has been neglected, but there is much less than in heavily footnoted academic tomes or "definitive studies."   Taking Objectivist philosopher Ayn Rand's division of philosophy into the five branches or sciences of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, politics, and aesthetics and converting it into a six-division system by substituting morals and values for ethics the author   CLICK HERE FOR PHILO-PSY.Org SITE & MAP E-MAIL & CONTACT   then goes back into the early stages of humanity to demonstrate how modern humanity reached, over the ages, its present state of a subjective or emotional approach to problem solving and how this can be restructured in order to formulate an objective approach based entirely on reason.   The author stresses the importance of properly educating the young because, he believes, everything a person knows can only be what he or she has been taught. Thus, by observing experience objectively and applying reason to that experience, the reader, by following guidelines with regard to the philosophical sciences, can develop a valid personal Weltanschauung that can lead to answering such questions as "What is the meaning of life?," "Does fate or free will rule our lives?," and "What is the nature of the universe?," or that can lead to the formulation of such concepts as proper governance.   It is a provocative and challenging book, one definitely in tune with the zeitgeist of the New Age.  REVIEWED BY: DR.
