This has taken a bit longer to put together than I anticipated given the length of the book, as indicated by the title A Short History of Ethics, but I hope I've done it justice, and as usual, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
A much shorter post than my last one, this time fleshing out something that came up in a discussion with a friend: does everyone have an ideology? Should he? Join me to explore what the word means to different folks, what value (and risks) come with it, and what we might do going forward.
On the last Ecosophia open post, I asked if anyone knew of a word for a concept that hard started to coalesce in my mind, and while some folks had some good suggestions of related ideas, no one was familiar with the exact thought I was thinking, so I took a stab at pinning it down myself.
I'm not wholly happy with the word I settled on at the end of this one, so I very much welcome suggestions on what might work better.

[Book] Paths to Immortality
May. 19th, 2024 11:19 pmAs I mentioned last time, I'm going a bit out of order here, with my new review of Paths to Immortality by Johann Baptist Krebs, which not only came out before The Rebirth, but was written by its author's teacher.
At any rate, what I found most helpful here was its depiction of a skeptic becoming a believer, not through a sudden opening of the heavens, but through stubborn hard work at the direction of a trusted friend.
Let me know what you think!
