About
The ultimate foundation of the Rational Morality blog is the insight derived from evolutionary dynamics that existence is preferable over non-existence. This insight is expanded in line with Kant’s categorical imperative to include not only the individual but ‘the other’ to yield the universally applicable utility function of ‘ensure continued co-existence’.
Thereby equating concern for the other with concern for the self, one thus realizes that everything one does to another one quite literally does to oneself resulting in compassion as a rational moral duty irrespective of an agents level of intelligence or available resources.
About me: I became an independent writer/philosopher after a decade long corporate career. My special interest lies in understanding and explaining spiritual wisdom in naturalistic terms.
