Space, Time and the Ethical Foundations - Avebury Series in Philosophy (Hardback)

In this volume, ideas about space and time are developed, for the first time in the history of philosophy, that match the new physics. A new foundation is laid for ethics by grounding ethics on the author's psycho-biological deduction of the emotions, offering a progressive model to replace the Freudian paradigm. Doubly grounded on both Eastern and Western thought, insights from biology, psychology, evolutionary theory and ethics are brought together in a unique and fruitful synthesis. At the same time, human barbarisms such as the Holocaust are pointed to as reminders that there are just limits to compassion. This book presents a sophisticated text for metaphysics, epistemology and systematic ethics.
