Telling Right from Wrong by Timothy J. Cooney PDF Summary

Book Description: Morality has occupied the minds of men since the first spear was raised in anger. But what is morality? What does it mean to be moral? And how do we determine what falls outside the bounds of ethical discussion? Mr. Cooney develops a unique moral theory in which he isolates and explores the core of morality. He contends that in common usage it reveals an ultimate and all-but-universal guide to action, a guide that provides the basis for delcaring some actions (e.g., murder, arson, assault, robbery, etc.) to be wrong, while it considers other types of behavior (e.g., homosexuality, gambling, drinking, abortion, etc.) to be matters of politics and opinion rather than morality. Mr. Cooney separates actual from apparent moral issues and, in doing so, seeks to spare society needless and potentially disastrous confrontations. He offers a firm response to those who claims that morality is ultimately relative. -- From publisher's description.
