DISCUSSION: SECULAR ETHICS
 
SCOTT FORSCHLER & GEORGE KANE
 
• Book: The Golden Rule by Jeffrey Wattles (1996)
 
• Essay: “Existentialism is a Humanism” by Jean-Paul Sartre (1946)
 
• Book: The Expanding Circle: Ethics and Sociobiology by Peter Singer (1981)
 
“These three authors differ in some details, but all agree that ethics cannot come from an outside authority, whether it be a religious doctrine, an intuition or feeling, or a biological instinct.  Ethics is based on reason, and certain choices must be rejected as immoral because they are intrinsically inconsistent.” – Scott Forschler
