Book Synopsis
Offers a challenge to modern liberal ethics by exposing its inability to confront the inexorable advance of technology. This title argues that modern technology, ethics, and politics are expressions of the enlightenment view that there are no principles of truth or goodness higher than the free human will.

Trade Review
"The principle thesis, that contemporary moral relativism can lead to moral nihilism, is a very important insight that has been largely overlooked to date, but an idea that needs to be understood and broadly debated in society as a whole." Margaret Somerville, McGill Centre for Medicine, Ethics, and Law
