Ethics: The Good and the Right

Exploring the interplay of value, morality, and action, this introduction outlines a comprehensive approach to understanding these concepts within the framework of human knowledge. It posits that all animals engage in evaluations and that social behaviors, termed 'moral principles,' are learned and practiced. The text distinguishes between the factual aspects of valuation and the theoretical study of these phenomena, inviting insights from zoology, social psychology, and philosophy to analyze and critique moral norms and behavior patterns.
