About this audiobook
Investigate the true source of human kindness in a world driven by self-interest. This treatise rejects religious commands to establish compassion as the sole genuine moral incentive. By analyzing the conflict between egoism and malice, the text builds a secular foundation for ethics. A powerful argument that connects the suffering of one to the suffering of all.
