More about the book
The book critiques the rise of self-righteous moralism as a substitute for traditional religion, suggesting that fervent moral beliefs often masquerade as universal truths. It argues that these convictions are not grounded in any absolute moral authority but instead stem from primitive emotional instincts and arbitrary societal norms. Through this lens, the author explores the implications of moral certainty in contemporary society, challenging readers to reconsider the foundations of their beliefs and the nature of moral authority.
