    About this audiobook

    Are we moving toward a more ethical future? Here Matousek discusses universal human ethics He points out that ethics may be a minefield of opposing ideologies, special interest and temperamental proclivities. The good news is that humans are hardwired to care for one another, have a sense of justice and fairness, and share a sense of group loyalty as well a programmed for sacredness and purity.
