Description

Explores how belief or non-belief in God shapes the content of morality. Neither supporting nor attacking religion-based morality, this work shows why belief in God makes a difference-for good or ill. In contrast to those who hold that there is a conflict between practical rationality (seeking one's own fulfillment) and moral rationality (moral duty), the author demonstrates that all classic moral systems, religious or otherwise, deny this conflict by claiming that the moral pathway is also the fulfilling pathway. Traditional religious believers claim that the truly fulfilling life culminates in eternal fellowship with God. If belief in God is rejected, other views of human fulfillment are constructed.
